Nokia has revealed a concept mobile phone which will be "stretchable and flexible" and has been developed in partnership with the University of Cambridge.
The mobile phone, called Morph, allows users to change their phone into different shapes in order for it t be the size which suits them at that time.
Dr Tapani Ryhanen, head of the NRC Cambridge UK laboratory, Nokia, said: "We hope that this combination of art and science will showcase the potential of nanoscience to a wider audience. The techniques we are developing might one day mean new possibilities in terms of the design and function of mobile devices."
He added that the research which is being carried out is "fundamental" to this as the company is seeking a "safe and controlled way to develop and use new materials".
Pictures of the Morph mobile phone suggest that it can change shape from a credit card shape to a watch shape and the shape and size of a traditional mobile phone.
It is thought that through nanotechnology mobile phones may be able to incorporate self cleaning surfaces and see through electronics.
Nokia has recently released the N96 which has a five MP camera and the N-Gage gaming platform. It has 16 GB of internal memory and can pick up digital TV.
