Remember Nokia's mind-bendingly cool Morph concept? Well, it seems that we could be seeing phones just like it within a few years, thanks to a group of Korean brain boxes developing a working computer chip that is almost completely see-through.

The new tech is dubbed transparent resistive random access memory, or TTRAM, and it allows a device to store digital information in much the same way as a memory card. And according to the team behind it we could start seeing it pop up in phones and other devices within three or four years - TTRAM chips are cheap and easy to make.

Of course, transparency was just one of the Morph concept's notable traits, another being the ability to bend and flex - hence the name. And while the initial incarnation of TTRAM is traditionally rigid, the next stage for the Korean scientists is a version that uses flexible materials. Sounds like Nokia's vision of a bendy, see-through mobile phone is one step closer to becoming a reality...
