Saw this blog today "Revolutionary Flexible-Lens Optics Technology Zooms Instantly"

Sandia National Laboratories has developed a truly game-changing piece of optical technology at the direct request of the Department of Defense: the RAZAR (Rapid Adaptive Zoom for Assault Rifles). Fundamentally different than every other riflescope ever made, the RAZAR represents a revolution in lens design and function. Until now, all riflescopes used a set of rigid, hard lenses (usually glass). The new RAZAR utilizes an advanced set of flexible polymer lenses that allow the user to toggle between high and low magnification with the press of a button. The RAZAR can literally zoom in and out in the blink of an eye (250 milliseconds).

Please note that the article refers to a new application of technology which may in future be applicable to binoculars, but so far has been developed for military rifle sights. If pictures of military equipment is likely to offend you, please don't click the link.

I am posting it because the optical technology may be of interest to some people who post here regularly, not to offend anyone!

That's a good one, thanks for posting. Clearly many practical applications.

Thats interesting Jabby.

Looks more suited to open country ops perhaps on 7.62 marksman weapons.

Can see this being useful on spotting scopes.
