Scientists have created a blazing-fast scientific camera that shoots images at an encoding rate of 156.3 terahertz (THz) to individual pixels — equivalent to 156.3 trillion frames per second. Dubbed SCARF (swept-coded aperture real-time femtophotography), the research-grade camera could lead to breakthroughs in fields studying micro-events that come and go too quickly for today’s most expensive scientific sensors.
SCARF has successfully captured ultrafast events like absorption in a semiconductor and the demagnetization of a metal alloy. The research could open new frontiers in areas as diverse as shock wave mechanics or developing more effective medicine.
Slo-mo guys just show up with a fat stack of hundos
After seeing the one where they slam Dan’s face with a ball and you see his skull moving under his skin I realized there can be entire fields of study around insanely fast cameras. What we see in real time doesn’t even compare. Also the one where Gav shows how CRTs work is still my favorite.
Assuming they’re still around. The whole Rooster Teeth getting shut down by Warner Bros a few weeks ago.
Slo mo has nothing to do with RT I thought? Always assumed that was Gavin and Dan’s creation, and was around even before Gavin showed up to RT.
Not sure, but they’re part of the rooster teeth productions. Didn’t know how the situation is going to affect them.
