The Nokia Research Center (NRC)
and the University of Cambridge have showcased Morph, a nanotechnology
concept which might be capable of delivering flexible materials,
transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces. The applications
may range from flexible mobile devices.
"Nokia Research Center
is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices;
the Morph concept shows what might be possible," said Bob Iannucci,
Nokia's Chief Technology Officer, in a statement.
However, if
you were planning to get a flexible nanotech-based mobile phone anytime
soon, you're in for a disappointment: Nokia said that this high-tech
stuff will be implemented in mobile devices sometime within the next
seven years. The new concept is being showcased at the "Design and the
Elastic Mind" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City
from February 24 to May 12, 2008.
