Nanotech phone pushing the right buttons

The ‘Morph’, a joint nanotechnology concept developed by Nokia Research Centre (NRC) and Cambridge University, will be able to recharge itself using solar energy, clean itself via micro machines that live on the surface and can be twisted like a bracelet taking on the same colour as the clothes a user is wearing. The phone is due to be launched into the market in seven years time.

The Morph concept phone was shown at the ‘Design and the Elastic Mind’ exhibition, which open to the public from February 24th to May 12th, 2008, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. A joint effort by Nokia Research Center and Cambridge Nanoscience Centre, the Morph concept aims at revolutionizing the design and capabilities of a mobile phone using nanoscience.
