(PhysOrg.com) -- Toshiba has come up with a method of zooming in-and-out of images by just bending the display. All you need to do is bend the thin flexible panel and the image will zoom in or out accordingly.
A new form of electronics manufacturing which embeds silicon nanowires into flexible surfaces could lead to radical new forms of bendable electronics, scientists say.
