If you have Facebook pictures pretty enough to frame and set on the mantle, you can now print photos directly from the site using Kodak kiosks at Target. Just a few weeks after Facebook announced support for higher-resolution photos, Facebook and Kodak have teamed up with Target to cut out the printing middleman (i.e. flash drives) by installing these kiosks in stores. Target is saying that the ...

Last week, Hewlett-Packard unveiled its online printing program, which allows users to remotely print Web content from their computers or phones. Along with the program, the company launched a new service called "scheduled delivery," which enables customers to regularly print pages at specified times. Now, in order to promote these new features, the company has joined forces with Yahoo! to launch ...

Scientists at the Eni-MIT Solar Frontiers Research Center have successfully developed the first solar cells printed on paper, using a process similar to inkjet printing. Organic semiconductors in the form of carbon-based dyes were applied to paper, resulting in a solar cell with a 1.5- to 2-percent sunlight conversion efficiency rate. (Current thin-film solar cells have achieved record efficiency ...

Devoted Switched readers will already know that we've been following the development of 3-D printing technology pretty closely -- from our challenge to Design Glut with the DIY MakerBot printer, to byAMT Studio's jewelry work, to Unfold's experiments with ceramics and virtual potters' wheels, to Organovo's human tissue generator and even a 3-D skin printer. What can those crazy 3-D enthusiasts ...

Earlier today, Google gave us all a little hint as to how it plans to handle printing on Chrome OS and other mobile devices. Google Cloud Print aims to let users print from Web-connected device to any Web-connected printer. Rather than trying to support countless combinations of hardware, operating systems and printers, Cloud Print will handle requests directly from the Web. Google will send ...

As sad a reality as it is, much of the digitized world still relies on paper. But for many of us who've become accustomed to completely paperless, smartphone-based existences, remembering to print a pair of concert tickets or a big term paper before leaving the house can be a difficult and often cumbersome task. Luckily, though, a new app now allows procrastinating or forgetful users to save both ...

Share Tired of waiting in line at the grocery store? Thanks to a team of South Korean researchers, your wait at the checkout might soon get a little shorter. According to Popular Science, scientists from Sunchon National University have discovered a cheap way to print radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags onto plastic film, rather than the more commonly used and expensive silicon. Ideally, ...

Maybe the incandescent light bulb has been sitting in its socket-shaped throne for too many years -- GE thinks so, anyway. GE R&D guys have produced a machine that prints OLED materials newspaper-style onto 8-inch sheets of metal foil in hopes that the sheets -- which can be pinned to just about any surface -- will start the process of home lighting biz regime change in 2010. Picture, if you ...

On Tuesday, Konarka Technologies Inc. announced the first successful demonstration of ink-jet-based solar cell printing. Yes, you read correctly -- the same technology used to print your papers and pictures is being used to make the cells in panels used for solar energy. The ink-jets used in the new process are more advanced and require more expensive electronic ink, of course, but using them ...
