Imaging recource: World’s fastest camera stops light in its tracks and records five trillion frames per second

Who doesn’t love slow motion? There’s something very impressive about high-tech slow-motion cameras. Perhaps none are more impressive than the device a team has built at Lund University in Sweden. Their new fast camera can record five trillion - yes, that’s 5,000,000,000,000! – frames per second. At these insane speeds, you can record light as it travels, as can be seen in the video below – which has been slowed down by a factor of one trillion. The team captured a pulse of light traveling a distance equivalent to roughly a sheet...
