Nokia has developed a joint nanotechnology concept with University of Cambridge. The new concept is called Morph, which will be the material that makes up futuristic cellphone that could be as elastic as possible and transformable into any shape to suit the user’s need. Morph takes the main advantages that could be delivered using nanotechnology, which would embark on three major features that you will never find on today’s cellphones, including flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces.
The idea of Morph is centered around where nanotechnology can produce material that is super flexible which could change itself into any form to meet the users’ everyday need. The flexibility not only limited to the body or the case of the cellphone, but it also involves the electronic components lying inside, which are stretchable, transparent to suit itself ergonomically to the users. The flexible material used for building the Morph phone also allows it to self cleanse, without having you to worry about dirt, fingerprints all around. The surface of the device would also be the perfect surface for absorption of solar energy, to power the cellphone when the batteries were to run dry. Last but not least, the Morph phone would be equipped with various nanosensors that would continuously capture and analyze the environment for the users, such as analyzing the air pollution and continuously to gear the users towards a healthier environment.
Morph still needs couple of years to work on between the two, before it could come true as the main building material for cellphones. The prediction is Morph would only surface and be used among high-end cellphones in about 7 years’ time. And hoping that one day may lead to lower cost of manufacturing in nanotechnology for incorporating Morph into cheaper phone models.
