Meet Graphene - Nokia's future super-material

Remember that Nokia Morph Concept Phone which was introduced way back in 2008? The proposed device, based on nanotechnology, promises to have a flexible body with a transparent display. With this technology, the gadgets of daily use could be moulded as per your requirement.

Meet the future super-material behind this technology - Graphene. Nokia Blog defines: "Graphene is an allotrope of carbon and its 2D structure measures just one atom thick. While being thin, it’s the strongest material ever tested, having a breaking strength 300 times greater than steel and is also the lightest material ever, best intrinsic conductor and super-flexible, too. It’s predicted to replace silicon as the base for all electronics. What’s not to get excited about here?"

Nokia believes that Graphene is a future-changing material. Along with nine other partners, which include four Nobel laureates, Nokia is taking part in the Graphene Flagship program that was launched in Budapest to help bring this most-promising material to the real-world.



Well, the technology that could make the concept phone Nokia Morph alive is really a thing to look forward to for the Finnish manufacturer. Once this technology becomes reality, materials would become ultra-thin and you could manipulate them at will. It can be a smartphone or TV or any gadget, in theory, you can just unroll it and fix it to the place of your desire.

The technology has all the potential to disrupt the future of the smartphones and Nokia is keen to bring this technology to the masses.
