Nokia shows off nanotech handset

Nokia Research Centre (NRC) and Cambridge University have unveiled a concept phone they say shows the potential benefits of nanotechnology.

Morph, as the device is called, was launched on Monday at the Museum of Modern Art in New York as part of an exhibition entitled "Design and the Elastic Mind".

Morph demonstrates flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces — all features made possible in a handheld device through the use of nanotechnology.
