Xerography: Inkless printing and dry photography—named "xerography," from the Greek words for "dry" and "writing"—were recently demonstrated in the United States. Described as "revolutionary" by the New York Times, xerography employs static electricity to record images on special metal plates, and dry powders to reproduce the images on other surfaces.

静电复印技术：美国最近展示了一种无需墨水的印刷和干燥摄影技术，被命名为“xerography”，源自希腊语“干燥”和“写作”两个词。据《纽约时报》报道，这种革命性的技术利用静电在特殊金属板上记录图像，并使用干粉在其他表面上复制图像。[美国国务院“空气简报”，第79期，第2卷，1948年11月17日]
