Wouldn't you tell to fold your computer screen like paper and carry it with you?. That's what Kerala born Pulickel Ajayan and his team of scientists are developing at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, New York. The Henry Burlage professor of material science and engineering has developed "nano skins" that can be bent, flexed, and even rolled up in a scroll, while conducting electricity. The plaint skin, developed by embedding inflexible carbon nano tubes-rolled up sheets of tightly bound carbon molecules-in a soft polymer, can apparently be used in highly flexible electronic displays.
