Jason Koebler writes A new imaging technique is able to capture images at 100 billion frames per second—fast enough to watch light interact with objects, which could eventually lead to new cloaking technologies. The camera was developed by a team at Washington University in St. Louis—for the team’s first tests, it was able to visualize laser pulse reflections, photons racing through air and through resin, and “faster-than-light propagation of non-information.” It can also be used in conjunction with telescopes and to image optical and quantum communications, according to lead researcher Liang Gao.
