Scientist just invented a 10 trillion frame per second camera that can allow them to see light in slow motion.

“Thus far, established ultrafast imaging techniques either struggle to reach the desired exposure time or require repeatable measurements. We have developed single-shot 10-trillion-frame-per-second compressed ultrafast photography (T-CUP), which passively captures dynamic events with 100-fs frame intervals in a single camera exposure. The synergy between compressed sensing and the Radon transformation empowers T-CUP to significantly reduce the number of projections needed for reconstructing a high-quality three-dimensional spatiotemporal datacube.”

World’s fastest camera freezes time at 10 trillion frames per second
““We knew that by using only a femtosecond streak camera, the image quality would be limited,” says Professor Lihong Wang, the Bren Professor of Medial Engineering and Electrical Engineering at Caltech and the Director of Caltech Optical Imaging Laboratory (COIL).. “So to improve this, we added another camera that acquires a static image. Combined with the image acquired by the femtosecond streak camera, we can use what is called a Radon transformation to obtain high-quality images while recording ten trillion frames per second.”

Image Projections and the Radon Transform
“To be able to study different reconstruction techniques, we first needed to write a (MATLAB) program that took projections of a known image. Having the original image along with the projections gives us some idea of how well our algorithm performs. The projection code is pretty simple. Basically, we take the image (which is just a matrix of intensities in MATLAB), rotate it, and sum up the intensities. In MATLAB this is easily accomplished with the 'imrotate' and 'sum' commands.

150 years ago: Man, these new cameras are really incredible! I can have a photo of my family for future generations to see!
Now: Man, these new cameras are really incredible! We can see light moving. No joke.

Her hair at @3:30 and @3:31. That occurred at Femtosecond.

The Earth's rotation really makes my day.

But is it fast enough to record a man running away from his responsibilities?

3:31 going from curly hairs to straightened hair in udner a second - did we invent that too?

Can it capture how fast ..my depression is killing me

Im still learning, so bear with me.. to capture light in motion is 1 trillion frames per second, and for this camera to go 10 trillion frames per second, wouldn't it be faster than light? And if so? why is everyone saying you can't go faster than light?

Could someone please elaborate as to how much data a single second's worth of footage from the T-Cup camera would use up? I'm legitimately fascinated.

There is a TED talk that uses a femto camera to image light as is passes through a bottle and hits the cap on the end. The frames are 1 trillion a second and it is amazing to watch but it came out 3-4 years ago as a TED talk. Im sure they are better but that camera did what you are saying these "new" ones do.
