Morph was developed by the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge. Morph entails stretchable and flexible materials, translucent electronics, and self-cleaning surfaces that will give nanotechnology ultimate functionality. Morph could show the way to mobile devices that use transparent materials, repel dirt and fingerprints use solar energy to charge, and use incorporated sensors to supply more knowledge about the environment.
Morph cellMorph phone Bob Iannucci, Nokia's CTO, said: “Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices; the Morph concept shows what might be possible” MorphMorph

Nokia expects to see some of these innovations on the market into high-end products within seven years.
