If you have forked out the ticket price of about $20, nearly double the U.S. average, to see a film on an Imax screen, you know what the fuss is about: Bright, high-resolution images, all-encompassing sound, and a curved screen help immerse the viewer.

You may have seen some very small cameras in your day, but nothing like this. University of Stuttgart scientist have developed a 3D-printed, three-lens camera that's just 100 micrometers (0.004 inches) across. That's small enough that you could inject into your body with a syringe -- perfect for endoscopy and other times you'd want to observe a patient's body from the inside. It currently needs to be tethered to an optical fiber, but it can focus on objects as close as 0.12 inches. You can even print unconventional lens shapes (such as rings or triangles) to fit specific shapes and goals.

Others enter a period of aging (like the kind most of us experience around age 65) and then come out of it, continuing their lives.
