"A tiny sea creature could hold the key for better cameras. Researchers in the US are studying a relative of the starfish, known as a brittlestar, whose arms are covered with perfect lenses. The lenses provide the brittlestar with all-round vision. Scientists say they are better than any optical devices developed in the lab. "Instead of trying to come up with new ideas and technology, we can learn from this marine creature," said Joanna Aizenberg of Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2562093.stm
