A new revolutionary technology, quantum physics trick will be soon advancing the handheld devices like mobile phones, games, and GPS sets by providing them pressure sensitive touch screens and keys.

With this technique the user will be able to scroll through a long list or webpage of items by exerting the equivalent pressure. The quantum trick would be used possibly in the devices like phones, GPS handsets and games.

Nissha, the Japanese touch screen maker, has also licensed the technique from Yorkshire based Peratech, which is engaged in making the composite material QTC. Under the rules of the licensing agreements, Peratech could not let out the phone, gaming, and device makers which possibly be using the technology to bring pressure sensitivity to a raft of new devices, in the near future.

The QTC technique is useful in making ultra-thin devices, for example, Pressure-sensitive QTC switches can be made 70 micrometers thick - about the thickness of a human hair.

Samsung Electro-mechanics has used the QTC in smart phones as the up down button in the phone are pressure sensitive, which could be useful in scrolling through a long list of emails.
