SINGAPORE: Imagine a cell phone that can morph into any shape you want or a phone that draws its power from sunlight.

And if you are sick of getting smudges on your phone, the mobile phone of the future will clean itself automatically – thanks to nano technology.

Researchers at Cambridge University are working on these possibilities together with Finnish phone company, Nokia. But the research on morphing technology is not limited to mobile phones only.

Tapani Ryhanen, head, Strategic Research, Nokia, said: "Something that is not coming out so clearly from this work is the work that we do with future computer architecture and how we build the future electronics based on nano."

Researchers said in about ten years, mobile phones of the future will be able to do things we have never imagined before.
