2021 is the 500th anniversary of the first works printed in ¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ

Using an alcohol mixture, researchers modified how ink droplets dry, enabling cheap industrial-scale printing of electronic devices at unprecedented scales.

A microscopic ‘pen’ that is able to write structures small enough to trap and harness light using a commercially available printing technique could be used for sensing, biotechnology, lasers, and studying the interaction between light and matter.

An exhibition of early colour printing in Germany shines a light on the ways in which technology jump-started a revolution in image making. The British Museum show is curated by Dr Elizabeth Savage, whose research makes a radical contribution to an understanding of colour in woodcuts.

A low-cost, high-speed method for printing electronics using graphene and other conductive materials could open up a wide range of commercial applications. 

¹ú¼ÊÃ×À¼¶ÔÕó¿ÆĪ spin-out Reduse, which has developed a technology to remove print from paper allowing it to be reused several times before being recycled, has won the Venture Competition, organised by the Climate-KIC UK , the EU’s main climate innovation initiative.
