A new type of camera technology from MIT can trace a single beam of light as it travels through an object at a whopping trillion frames per second. But, believe it or not, it's actually a lot more complicated than it sounds. Unlike a traditional high-speed capture rig, this isn't as simple as recording images at a ludicrously high speed. Instead, it has 500 sensors, all of which are timed down to picosecond accuracy.
