Abstract

Advances in nanotechnology have brought closer the possibility of lighter cell phones, longer-lasting batteries, fast processors and even flexible screens. This science, which manipulates matter at the nanometer scale (<100 nm), has been fundamental to the evolution of the electronics and mobile industry. Innovations article aims to explore how innovations in nanotechnology have redefined mobile devices and their impact on the future of cell phones, highlighting both its benefits and limitations. New possibilities are emerging as nanotechnology advances, transforming the digital experience, which could be applied to other fields.
