TechAlert: MIT's Trillion Frames Per Second Light-tracking Camera

A camera capable of visualizing the movement of light has been unveiled by a team of MIT scientists. The equipment captures images at a rate of roughly a trillion frames per second - or about 40 billion times faster than a standard HD camera.

Direct recording of light is impossible at that speed, so the camera takes millions of repeated scans to recreate each image. The process has been dubbed femto-photography and has been detailed on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab's website.
