This may have been posted before but its still worth seeing again. I am sure some of you would be interested.
this camera does 10 trillion frames a second.
yes 10 trillion. It is so fast it captures light as it moves thru the air.

Fascinating, but what could it be used for besides some sort of military weapon?

Thank you for posting this. I THINK it has been seen here on UHH in the past but I am not positive. At any rate I appreciate seeing it again. Very interesting to contemplate what else might be in the scientific works for the future.

Perhaps as scientists get more and more information many uses can be found for something like this and not necessarily military uses.

I imagine it can only maintain that rate for a relatively few frames ... 10, 100 or 1000 ? If so, controlling the exact moment of when to trigger a nanoburst could be insanely critical.
Yes amazing but keep in mind this is for research purposes in a specific application, for fempto- or pico- seconds of elapsed time, otherwise no memory in the world would be able to hold a second's worth of data. Actually when I was watching a recent clip of the Slo Mo Guys I was pondering if they could capture a beam of light as it traverses the air...well here it is right through a bottle. The one that was truly amazing was the fempto-second pulse of light bouncing like a pong ball in the reflective cavity - "trapped light" - - totally mental!
I love watching their channel as they shoot bullets with bullets, and other fascinating shots.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ys_yKGNFRQAbsolutely amazing to hear the description and see the light moving.
Thank you so very much sharing this with us.
I wonder if I could do this with my Brownie No 1 by adding a motor drive to it.
Actually it blows the mind, for us people who live in a simpler world.
Thank you again and I will need to sit here and just think about what you just showed.
Excellent!!!!

I shudder when I think of the "shutter"
There are really no superlatives for this.
