An outfit called LensVector has a new twist on lenses. LensVector's solid-state lens uses a liquid-crystal electrorefractive device to adjust focus (and, in principle, magnification) with no moving parts, uses less power than a mechanical focusing system, and is totally silent.
According to C|Net, the CIA is interested (via their subsidiary/front In-Q-Tel). Yeah, I'll bet they are....
