1.1 THE MORPH CONCEPT
Launched alongside The Museum of Modern Art ―Design and The Elastic Mind‖ exhibition, 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 being explored by Nokia Research Center (NRC) in collaboration with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre (United Kingdom). Nanoscale technologies that will potentially create a world of radically different devices that open up an entirely new spectrum of possibilities.
Morph concept technologies might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices:
Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend 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.
In addition to the advances above, the integrated electronics shown in the Morph concept could cost less and include more functionality in a much smaller space, even as interfaces are simplified and usability is enhanced. All of these new capabilities will unleash new applications and services that will allow us to communicate and interact in unprecedented ways.
1.2 HISTORY
Nokia Research Centre and the University of Cambridge‘s Nanoscience Centre have launched Morph, a joint nanotech concept. This device concept showcases some revolutionary leaps being explored by Nokia Research Center (NRC) in collaboration with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre (United Kingdom). Nanoscale technologies that will potentially create a world of radically different devices that open up an entirely new spectrum of possibilities. The foot steps in the technology are,
Invitation to contribute to Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in April 2007
Brainstorming in Cambridge in June 2007; Nokia Research Centre, Nokia Design and
University of Cambridge
First concepts to MoMA in August 2007.
MoMA exhibition in February 2008
1.3 Collaboration between NRC and University of Cambridge
The partnership between Nokia and the University of Cambridge was announced in March, 2007 an agreement to work together on an extensive and long term program of joint research projects. NRC has established a research facility at the University's West Cambridge site and collaborates with several departments - initially the Nanoscience Center and Electrical Division of the Engineering Department - on projects that, to begin with, are centered on nanotechnoly.
1.4 About University of Cambridge Nano Research Center
In Nanoscience Centre is an 1800m² research facility completed in January 2003 allocated at the north east corner of the University's West Cambridge Site. The Centre provides open access to over 300 researchers from a variety of University Departments to the nanofabrication and characterisation facilities housed in a combination of Clean Rooms and low noise laboratories.
