New York, US and Espoo, Finland – Nokia Research Center (NRC) and the University of Cambridge (UK) developed a joint nanotechnology concept called Morph and launched it on February 24 with “Design and the Elastic Mind” exhibition. Exhibition will be on view from February 24 to May 12, 2008. at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. In both the exhibition catalog and on MoMA’s official website, Morph is featured.

Morph concept is a demonstration for us to see how mobile devices can be transformed into different shapes that are not imaginable.It demonstrates the ultimate functionality that nanotechnology might be capable of delivering: flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces. Also some oppurtinities that are delivered using nanotechnology like flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces are demonstrated in the exhibition. Dr. Bob Iannucci, Chief Technology Officer, Nokia, commented: “Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices; the Morph concept shows what might be possible”.
