Nanotechnology Takes Off — KQED QUEST
 
Nokia Morph Concept. Morph is a concept demonstrating some of the possibilities nanotechnologies might enable in future communication devices. Morph can sense its environment, is energy harvesting, and self cleaning. Morph is a flexible two-piece device that can adapt its shape to different use modes. Nanotechnology enables us to have adaptive materials yet rigid forms on demand.
 
It is also featured in the MoMA online exhibition “Design and the Elastic Mind”. It has been a collaboration project of the Nokia Research Center and Cambridge Nanoscience Center.

Transparency and Privacy

An old Star Trek episode comes to life with the Panoptic Systems C-Thru 3D Video Surveillance System, a way for Big Brother to get a “god’s-eye view” of everything going on inside a building or plane. Taking input from numerous 360-degree cameras placed throughout any location, the system combines all those images into one “auto-stereoscopic” display.
