Spell “T-CUP”<\/h2>
The extraordinary camera, which the researchers describe in a paper<\/a> published Monday in the journal Light: Science & Applications, <\/i>builds on a technology called compressed ultrafast photography (CUP).<\/p> CUP can lock down an impressive 100 billion frames per second, but by simultaneously recording a static image and performing some tricky math, the researchers were able to reconstruct 10 trillion frames.<\/p> They call the new technique T-CUP, and while they don’t say what the “T” stands for, our money is on “trillion.”<\/p> The camera more than doubles the speed record set in 2015 by a camera that took 4.4 trillion shots per second<\/a>. Its inventors hope it’ll be useful in biomedical and materials research.<\/p> But they’ve already turned their attention to smashing their newly set record.<\/p> “It’s an achievement in itself,” said lead author Jinyang Liang in a press release<\/a>, “but we already see possibilities for increasing the speed to up to one quadrillion frames per second!”<\/p> READ MORE:<\/strong> World’s Fastest Camera Freezes Time at 10 Trillion Frames per Second<\/a> [INRS<\/i>]<\/p> More on high-speed cameras: See the World’s Fastest Cameras in Action: 4.4 Trillion Shots Each Second<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p> Go here to read the rest: High Beam When you push the button on a laser pointer, its entire beam seems to appear instantaneously. In reality,though, the photons shoot out like water from a hose, just\u00a0at a speed\u00a0too fast to see. Continue reading Ludicrous Speed<\/h2>
