Electronic ink on a paper screen

Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Laboratory physicist Joseph M. Jacobson heads a team of researchers that has developed a method of placing dynamic particle ink technology directly onto paper substrates. This innovation may eventually lead to consumer availability of single, reusable pieces of paper that can print and reprint images and text, using ink that is electronically planted within the paper itself. Jacobson suggests that consumer versions of the paper and printer could provide substantial cost savings over present technology.
MASSACHUSETFS INSTITUTE OF Technology researchers take the notion of media convergence quite literally, working to communicate or publish text and image on paper without benefit of an external machine, be [...]
