Morph Demos Nanotech Mobile Devices
As part of an exhibit at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, Nokia demonstrated the possibly flexible future of mobile devices. Morph, a joint nanotechnology venture between the Nokia Research Center (NRC) and the University of Cambridge, is demonstrating how future mobile devices might be stretchable and flexible, allowing users to transform their mobile devices into radically different shapes. It demonstrates the ultimate functionality that nanotechnology might be capable of delivering: flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces.
“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, chief technology officer for Nokia, in a statement.
Professor Mark Welland, head of the University of Cambridge’s Department of Engineering Nanoscience Group and University Director of Nokia-Cambridge collaboration added: “Developing the Morph concept with Nokia has provided us with a focus that is both artistically inspirational but, more importantly, sets the technology agenda for our joint nanoscience research that will stimulate our future work together.”
The "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibit will be on display at MoMA until May 12.
