In 2007 Nokia established a Research Center in Cambridge, U.K., to research NanoTechnology areas needed for future mobile devices. In 2010 Nokia released some demonstrations of research results, in areas such as flexible and stretchable circuits, thin and flexible batteries, and more. But very few technical details of their research have ever been discussed publically.

This report, Nokia NanoTechnology Research: Research Agenda, Results and Future Directions, steps through Nokia's NanoTechnology research agenda, exploring the research results as found in patent applications, research papers, demonstrations and other Nokia presentations and documents that we have unearthed. Our analysis goal is to speculate where Nokia is making significant progress and where their research may not be yet successful. Also, of course, we speculate based on our analysis when some of these technologies may make it to market.
