Nokia presents: flex your Cell

Nokia introduced a flexible mobile. The Morph phone has been developed
by Nokia and nanotechnology experts at Cambridge University, and was
recently unveiled at New York's Museum of Modern Art.

The phone can be used as keyboard when laid flat. While folded it
turns into very thin mobile phone, or into a bracelet worn wirelessly
connected to a headset.

"All of the elements of the phone are reflected in real projects that
are going on here," said Professor Mark Welland, head of the
nanoscience group at Cambridge University and director of the Nokia
collaboration.

The joined effort of Cambridge University and Nokia, which involves 10
researchers from the company and 25 Cambridge scientists, goes further
than just an accessory. Manipulating materials on atomic level, create
devices that never get wet - because they repel water effectively - or
can sense their surroundings, being able to tell whether food is off
or measure the temperature of the people wearing them.
