With grim predictions that all polar bears may be wiped out by the end of the century, it’s vital scientists find a way to better monitor the beasts to see if conservation efforts are having any impact. So they decided to 'fingerprint' them using DNA.

New ultrathin solar cells boast a few advantages over others of their type. They're more efficient, made using more common elements, and can be inkjet-printed onto surfaces, making them light and flexible enough to power wearable electronics.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a new way to manufacture medication. The technique could eventually allow hospitals, pharmacies and doctor’s offices to print drugs on demand, mixing different medications into one easy-to-administer dose.

​Materials that fold themselves are usually triggered by light, which works well for building simple 3D shapes like cubes and pyramids. By varying the color of the light and the "hinges," a new method can make more complex structures by triggering the material to fold in a specific order.

Living Ink adds a "time-lapse" element to artwork by bringing print to life when exposed to sunlight. Once applied to paper, the ink takes one or more days to show up, and needs to be put in a portable greenhouse to "grow" the ink.

Using nanometer-size metamaterials, researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology have developed a technique to print images that uses the manipulation of light, rather than the application of ink, to produce colors.

For many people, a touchscreen will just never measure up to the user-friendly simplicity of newsprint. That's why Newspaper Club is launching its PaperLater service – it allows users to set aside web articles of their choice, which will be incorporated into a print newspaper.

A young girl has been given freedom of movement for the first time thanks to a 3D printed exoskeleton made out of Lego material.

Artist Nicholas Hanna has created a cargo tricycle-based system that prints Chinese calligraphy on the road, in water.

Zebra Imaging creates lifelike 3D holographic visualizations in a format that can be rolled up and annotated, and transported around.

Iomega's new iConnect Wireless Data Station is like a Pogoplug on steroids. Just plug in up to four of your existing USB storage devices, and connect it to yo

Esquire magazine has incorporated augmented reality into its December edition.
