Scientists create new type of liquid crystal focusing lens.

The new lens uses a mixture of liquid crystal and monomers allowing the focus to change with voltage. The crystals migrate to the substrates where the voltage is applied, while the monomers move towards the center. The new way has less distortion but takes more time to refocus as the crystals don't change orientation.
