MORPH-THE FUTURE MOBILE
The Morph is a concept device designed by Nokia and the United Kingdom's University of Cambridge which is a nanoscience centre. It was Launched alongside The Museum of Modern Art “Design and The Elastic Mind” exhibition on 24 february 2008.The Morph concept device is a bridge between highly advanced technologies and their potential benefits to end-users. This device concept showcases some revolutionary leaps that will potentially create a world of radically different devices that open up an entirely new spectrum of possibilities.
NANOTECHNOLOGY
When you use some device at nano scale or you manufacture one at nanoscale, the technology used to do so is termed as nano technology.If the material or object is the range of 1 to 100 nanometers (nm), then it can be classified as a nanotechnology matetrial.If you divide one meter into one billion pieces, a single piece will constitute a nanoscale material.In scientific terms,1 nm is equal to one-billionth of a meter (.000000001 m).
When did we discover nano particles/materials?
Nanoscience has boomed,only in the past two or three decade ago, but the wonder of nanotechnology have existed for millions of years around us in nature.
Did you know that a single strand of spider silk is 10 times stronger than a metal thread of same dimensions! why? due to nano crystals.Also you might have seen water floating on the leaves of a lotus, why? again, due to nano scale hairs on the leaf surface.There are many examples in nature for nanotechnology.It is also unique because many of the mechanisms of the biological and physical world operates on scales from 0.1 to 100 nm(like our immune system, the bacterias, the growth of cells, etc.,At these dimensions materials exhibit different physical properties.So scientists expect that many uses can be derived at the nanoscale.
Flexible & Changing Design
Nokia's technology uses Fibril proteins woven into a three-dimensional mesh that reinforces thin elastic structures. The resulting elasticity is much like that of spider silk, and it will enable the devices to change shapes and configure themselves to adapt to the task at hand.
Users could fold or unfold the device to suit their immediate purpose, whether it's to talk on the phone or use input devices such as keyboards or touch pads. Even the electronics integrated into the device, from interconnects to sensors, would be flexible, Nokia said.
