The camera that can capture 1 trillion frames a second - fast
enough for slow-motion video of light particles Scientists from
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) needed some very
specialised equipment to pull off the feat, as light travels
around a million times faster than a bullet. The team used a
camera that collected the light beams at a rate of roughly one
trillion frames per second - that's fast enough to produce a
slow-motion video of a burst of light traveling the length of a
one-litre bottle, bouncing off the cap and reflecting back to
the bottle’s bottom. ‘We have built a virtual slow motion camera
where were can see photons, or light particles, moving through
space,’ explained Ramesh Raskar, Associate Professor of the MIT
Media Lab. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ ...
