The original article, Bringing back Polaroid’s instant film, was in the FT Weekend Magazine: 15-16 August 2009, pp26-29, and is also available below:

The new firm, calling itself The Impossible Project has its own website below, for those interested. For the innovators on this site, there are also opportunities to assist them with their objective of producing an improved emulsion with better properties than its now, defunct predecessor film media.
