What do they mean
Sensing:Morph enables us to observe our local environment. It can detect specific chemical compounds in the air.
Nanoscale grass: Nanowire grass harvests solar energy that charges up the device.
Self-cleaning.:The surface of the Morph is superhydrophobic that makes it extremely dirt repellent.
Stretchable: The nanoscale structure of the electronics enables stretching.
Strength of Spider Silk.:A nanoscale mesh of fibers controls the stretching of the device when the device is folded.
Transparent Electronics.:Nanoscale electronics becomes invisible to the human eye.
Haptic Surface. Buttons on the device are real 3D forms. The surface forms its context dependent.
Wearable Device:Wearing Morph can be a substitute for wearing a watch.
Recycling: Utilization of biodegradable materials might make production and recycling of devices easier and ecologically friendly.
Intelligently bridges local and global information
A self-configuring unit that can learn its context—and adapt instantly by sensing ambient elements, physical objects, and your individual context —presents severe challenges for sensor technologies
Efficient computing solutions to minimize power consumption
New materials and advanced fabrication methodologies have been used for making it a robust, self-healing device that can operate for days under rough conditions
Flexible and Changing Design
Materials and components used are flexible, stretchable, transparent and remarkably strong
Fibril proteins are woven into a three dimensional mesh that reinforces thin elastic structures.
Using the same principle behind spider silk enabling the device to literally change shapes and configure itself to adapt to the task at hand
A folded design would fit easily in a pocket and could lend itself ergonomically to being used as a traditional handset
An unfolded larger design could display more detailed information, and incorporate input devices such as keyboards and touch pads.
