Morph
Morph is a concept that explores how nanotechnology might be used in the future for next generation mobile devices – utilising features such as flexible materials, transparent electronics, self-cleaning surfaces and more.

The concept has been developed by the Nokia Research Center (NRC) in partnership with the Nanoscience Center at the University of Cambridge, and demonstrates how a future mobile device can be transformed into completely different shapes.

Nanotechnology enables the creation of materials that are flexible, can be stretched, made transparent and are very strong. A device made out of a material like this could be folded to fit into a pocket or opened out to present a larger working suruface area.

The material could be self-cleaning and the surface could even incoporate a covering of “nanograss” structures which would allow it to harvest solar enery and be self-powered.
