Photos: Roll up this laptop

A team of engineers at the U.K.'s University of Cambridge has developed "morphing materials" that make it possible to roll up a laptop screen as easily as a newspaper.

This prototype, created by Keith Seffen, a lecturer in structural engineering at the University of Cambridge, holds the main electronic components by wooden strips on the vertical sides of the screen.

The University of Cambridge engineers say that products based on such prototypes could be out in another five years.
