Morph, a joint nanotechnology concept, developed by Nokia Research Center (NRC) and the University of Cambridge (UK) - was launched today alongside the “Design and the Elastic Mind” exhibition, on view from February 24 to May 12, 2008, at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. The exhibition displays phones that will be built with materials controlled on the atomic and molecular scale, normally 1 to 100 nanometers. The “nanophones” will have devices with critical dimensions that lie within that size range.
Morph concept technologies might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices:
- 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 [Nokia]
Morph features in both the exhibition catalog and on MoMA’s official website.
Here is a video on the topic.

Expert say: Cybernetic implants to become a reality in 2029.
The nanoprobes are fictional technological devices from the Star Trek TV series, most commonly used by the race known as the Borg. These nanoprobes are microscopic machines that inhabit a Borg’s body, bloodstream, and many cybernetic implants and might become a reality in 2029 according to Ray Kurzweil U. S leading inventor and engineer.
Kurzweil believes that machines and humans will eventually merge through devices implanted in the body to boost intelligence and health just like the borgs in Star Trek. [BBC]
