In a technical collaboration with the University of Cambridge, Nokia’s “Morph” concept was introduced on Monday. “Morph” is a specific nanotechnology based concept that will bring more flexibility in designing mobile phone devices with transformations in to various shapes in future.

“Morph” is a joint venture research and development concept of ‘University of Cambridge’ and ‘Nokia Research Center’. Nanotechnological concepts have been applied with the stretchable and flexible materials, transparent electronics, and self –cleaning surfaces in order to enhance the functionality of technological applications, according to Nokia.

Elasticity is the basic concept behind this technological innovation. It is more similar in principle with the “spider silk”. This extra-functional elasticity in mobile phone devices will provide an extended advantage and the devices can be easily transformed in to various shapes and designs befitting varied requirements.

A folded design can now be easily inserted with conventional mobile phones. Similarly, to display more information on the screen and in order to facilitate more use of keyboards and touch pads an unfolding design could also be carved out with ease.

“Morph” will be based on the use of solar energy for charging the device. Future mobile devices will be made free from dirt and fingerprints and will use more transparent materials. Nokia will also introduce its “environment concept” in to its future mobile phones. Its “Eco Sensor Concept” will involve sensing device, which will help in monitoring the user’s health and other surrounding environmental indicators. Such types of mobile devices would be wearable mobile phones in concept.

‘Nokia Research Center’ is working for reinventing and redesigning new mobile phone devices with different forms and functions. “The morph concept shows what might be possible”, says Bob Iannucci, Nokia’s CTO.

Nokia and the University of Cambridge entered in to this new joint venture project in March 2007 when the state of the art technologically advanced research center was established at the University campus. Nokia Research Center is also collaborating with several other nanotechnology based research projects with the University.

Nokia predicts that within a period of next seven years, selected ‘Morph’ features would possibly be integrated with high-end mobile devices. Use of nanotechnology will ultimately facilitate production of low-cost devices and will also facilitate increased functionality within limited space.
