Camera captures 1,000 billion images per second

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US have created a camera capable of capturing 1,000 billion images in just one second, meaning that the machine can capture light as the light moves. through objects.

Nothing can go faster than the speed of light. Thanks to the work of scientific myths such as Leon Foucault and Albert Einstein, we know that this speed is 299,729,458m / sec in vacuum.

But scientists at MIT have sought to capture the light with their new camera. When displaying images synchronously at extremely slow speeds, you can see a ray of light moving from A to B. The experiment showed a beam of light traveling along the length of a 1-liter Coca Cola bottle, Bouncing from the lid, then reflecting the bottom of the bottle.

This is the first time light is filmed on the move, and this capability will greatly benefit from photography to medicine as well as shopping. For example, for shopping, customers can bring scanners to the supermarket and check for fruit ripeness. If the fruit is ripe, light is absorbed into the fruit and bouncing around, creating a 'halo'. Uncooked or old fruit will not absorb light.
