MIT developed a camera able to shoot frames at one trillion frames per second- fast enough to watch photons travel through space.
Over the time frame of just one nanosecond, the light passes over the bottle andcollected and stitches them into a singular frame. However, the camera is an incredibly inefficient video camera as it can only render three-dimensional objects in instances where the experiment can be repeated precisely over and over.
Nonetheless, other engineers are currently already implementing the streak camera in different configurations to attain other impressive results. One such team is using the technique to see people around corners. A laser sends out a beam of light which is then recorded by the streak camera. The beam reflects and propagates through the room until it is absorbed or collected by the camera.
In the medical industry, the camera could also be utilized as a super-accurate device similar in function to an ultrasound machine where light could replace the sound. While the camera is currently being used for scientific experiments, real-world applications of the device could become quite useful in the near future.
