Nanotechnology – Nokia’s Morph

 

 

Morph

The Nokia Research Center is working with the Cambriage Nanoscience Centre to develop nanoscience technologies that will bridge the latest and greatest in emerging technologies with the ability to benefit the end user. The idea behind this is (I know I say this a lot) absolutely market changing. This will change the word “product” forever. This technology allows the end user to combine many products in one. From watch, to clothing, to cell phone, to food tester, to health/bacteria scanner, and so on, this design/concept has the ability to do, it would seem, almost anything!

 

Here are some of the other many benefits of the technology:

 

  • Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend more seamlessly with the way we live
  • Devices become self-cleaning and self-preserving
  • Transparent electronics offering an entirely new aesthetic dimension
  • Built-in solar absorption might charge a device, whilst batteries become smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge
  • Integrated sensors might allow us to learn more about the environment around us, empowering us to make better choices

See some other pics.

 

This movie is a bit long but it will show (with drawings) some of the capabilities of these technology applied to products that will change the end-user (US!) ‘s life. This will truly blow you away…

I apologize for the feeling that ActionsTalk has been very Gizmodo’esk’ but I’ve recently been super excited about new technologies that I’ve been exposed to. Enjoy.

Incredible! I feel like gmj! I want one! :)

I took a nanotechnology class in college and we got to dig into the nitty gritty of this stuff. It’s pretty wild to think of the possibilities, though I fear that we’re still decades away from anything like the morph.

Which reminds me, where the hell is my jet pack and flying car?

Hey Ryan,

Nice post. Love the whole nanotechnology concept, but agree with Tad – we are probably decades away from nanotechnology for the consumer. For example, RFID has huge commercial benefits, but they just can’t make the technology cheaply enough for the mass market. Anyway, lets hope the Morph will come in our lifetime!
