The camera that can take a TRILLION pictures in a second

Making it fast enough to watch beams of light travelling in slow-motion.

MIT researchers have created a camera which can take images so fast - one trillion of them in just a second - that it can capture light as it travels across objects.

Nothing can go faster than the speed of light, which thanks to the work of scientific legends such as Leon Foucault and Einstein, we know to be 299,792,458 metres per second in a vacuum.
