One trillion frames per second

    Researchers at the MIT Media Lab in America have developed a new camera system that processes visual data at a rate of one trillion
    frames per second. The technology is capable of detecting light travel, producing images that can track the individual movement
    of light photons through slow motion video captures. With this, the device allows for a precise examination of its illumination trail
    through space onto an object in fine detail.
    An explanatory video from MIT:

    Here's a TED Talk about the same subject, and here's an article with more videos, images and information.

    Interesting stuff!
