NANOTECHNOLOGY
Also called as molecular manufacturing , is a branch of engineering deals with the design and manufacture of extremely small electronic circuits and mechanical devices built at ultra molecular level in order to create create materials, devices, and systems with fundamentally new properties and functions because of their small structure between 1 and 100 nanometers Involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this length scale.

MORPH
In the ongoing race to make phones smaller, thinner, stronger, and increasingly functional, NANOTECHNOLOGY has been considered as a boon Nokia is already beginning to applying nanotechnologies to deliver product like MORPH . Collective vision for the mobile device of the futurea vision that is driving Nokias research efforts in nanoscience and nanotechnologies

FEATURES
Sensing:- Morph enables us to observe our local environment. It can detect specific chemical compounds in the air. Nanoscale grass:- Nanowire grass harvests solar energy that charges up the device. Self- cleaning:- The surface of the Morph is superhydrophobic that makes it extremely dirt repellent. Stretchable:- The nano scale structure of the electronics enables stretching. Strength of Spider Silk:- A nanoscale mesh of fibers controls the stretching of the device when the device is folded.

 Transparent Electronics:- Nanoscale electronics becomes invisible to t human eye. Haptic Surface:- Buttons on the device are real 3D forms. The surface forms its context dependent. Wearable Device:- Wearing Morph can be a substitute for wearing a Watch.

SENSORS
Empower users to examine the environment around them in completely new ways, from analyzing air pollution, to gaining insight into bio-medical traces and processes. Nanoscale sensors(MICROSENSORS) with improved resolution and the stability forms the building block. It has Nanocomponents having an immense surface area-to- volume ratio, allowing plenty of space for chemical reactions that chemical and biochemical sensing.

DESIGN
Materials and components used are flexible, stretchable, transparent and remarkably, strong. A folded design would fit easily in a pocket and could itself ergonomically to being used as a traditional handset. An unfolded larger design could display more detailed information, and incorporate input devices such as keyboards and touch pads.

POWER SOURCE
Nano wire grass harvests solar energy that charges up the device ZnO nanostructures in it play an important role in lo-cost photovoltacies A new method for making a full solid- state, flexible dye-sensitized solar cell(DSSC)

SELF CLEANING SURFACE

Naturally repel water,dirt, and even finger prints. Reducing corrosion, wear and tear and further improving longevity Water drops roll easily across such a surface, removing any dirt.

ADVANTAGES
Utilization of biodegradable materials might make production any recycling of devices easier and ecologically friendly. Low Power cost due to built-in solar absorption that might charge he device making batteries smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge and hence making the phone less bulky.

DISADVANTAGES
Due to the granular structure, nano particles can go unnoticed on a person s hand, but the risk of inhaling this could be very dangerous. Lack of a reliable power source: Nokia is still searching new battery materials to power to morph.
