Engineers at INRS Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications Research Centre in Canada have developed the world’s fastest camera, which can shoot at an astonishing 156.3 trillion frames per second (fps).
The best slow-mo cameras in phones are usually working with a few hundred fps. Professional cinematic cameras might use a few thousand, to achieve a smoother effect. But if you want to see what’s going on at the nanoscale, you’ll need to slow things way down, to the billions or even trillions of frames per second.
The new camera can reportedly capture events that occur in the realm of femtoseconds – quadrillionths of a second. For reference, there’s about as many of those in one second as there are seconds in 32 million years.
The researchers built on technology they developed as far back as 2014, known as compressed ultrafast photography (CUP) which could capture a now paltry-seeming 100 billion fps. The next stage was called T-CUP, with the T standing for “Trillion-frame-per-second” – which was, true to its word, capable of up to 10 trillion fps. And then in 2020, the team bumped it up to 70 trillion fps with a version called compressed ultrafast spectral photography (CUSP).
Now, the researchers have more than doubled it again, to a mind-boggling 156.3 trillion frames per second. The new camera system is called “swept-coded aperture real-time femtophotography” (SCARF), which can capture events that happen too fast for even the previous versions of the tech to see. That includes things like shock waves moving through matter or living cells.
SCARF works by first firing off a “chirped” ultrashort pulse of laser light, which passes through the event or object being imaged.

This is cool...we’re going to see miraculous things God created.
To the Lord, a day is as a trillionth of a second.................

I call baloney. I’m going to start counting all those frames.
Be Right Back.
That’s pretty quick but still nowhere near fast enough to catch me losing my temper.
Finally, we can capture what women call ‘foreplay’, whatever that is.

Wow, now we’ll be able to track ZEEPERS as they speed to post their comments.
what kind of storage is used to capture all those images???
It’s so fast it captures Biden lying!
The Federal Reserve is interested in this technology for rapid printing of fiat currency.
What’s the storage like on that? I mean is that like a terabyte a second? More?
Disney will be the first commercial user, to slip gay porn into children’s movies.
I’m out of memory.
Doc Edgerton would be proud
The photographer will still get me mid-blink.
..and blurry big foots & UFOs.
Dr. Heisenberg has one on order...
No more dead heats at the race tracks.
Gav and Dan will love this.
