Troy (NY) - A research team at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) has developed a new type of liquid lens that rapidly changes focus through sound wave energy. The lens is extremely light weight, durable and may have future applications in cell phones and other low-power, high speed stationary cameras for security. Amir H. Hirsa and Carlos A. Lopez co-authored a paper that explains the technology in detail. It will appear in the October issue of the Nature Photonics journal.

Interesting.
