Scientists have unveiled an ultrathin quantum dot LED that can be folded as freely as paper. The new device can be folded into complex 3D structures such as butterflies, airplanes, and pyramids.

The researchers created 3D objects with the paper using origami and kirigami to showcase their versatility. A waffle-patterned doughnut-shaped 3D object, for instance, could be useful for high ...

Mar 25, 2024 Scientists 3D print luminescent quantum dot-polymer architectures with potential for advanced optoelectronics (Nanowerk Spotlight) Quantum dots, nanoscale semiconductors with unique light ...

To overcome this challenge, a pyrolyzed cellulose nanofiber paper (CNP) semiconductor with a 3D network structure is proposed. Its nano–micro–macro trans-scale structural design is achieved by a ...
