Nokia Morph could be a Reality soon thanks to Korean Scientists
There’s been a major breakthrough in Korea which could pave the way for the Nokia Morph phone to finally become a reality.
Scientists have developed a way to manufacture large-scale, nanomaterial films that are perfect for flexible electronic devices such as those proposed by the Nokia concept phone. The process makes use of a conventional vapor deposition (CVD) technique to create graphene film with a diameter of a mere 10 cm. Graphene, in turn, is described as ‘a one-atom-thick, honeycomb-like nano material structure that can handle 100 times more electric current than copper and transfer electrons 100 times faster than monocrystalline silicon, used in conventional semiconductors.’ This basically means that it’s one useful piece of material especially when it comes to electronics.
Samsung is already rumored to be interested in this new technology and plans to working with the guys behind it for future products. Considering that Samsung has an extensive collection of mobile phones, PMPs and other gadgetry, we could see this flexible material used in a variety of devices aside from the ubiquitous cellphone.
