Researchers from the California Institute of Technology (USA) and the University of Quebec (Canada) invented the fastest camera in the world.

The T-CUP device is capable of making up to 10 trillion frames per second and can practically stop time, allowing you to consider the movement of a beam of light in space in slow motion. The work of the unusual camera is based on a technology called compressed ultrafast photography (CUP). It allows you to make billions of frames per second, but it is also capable of taking regular static images. T-CUP broke the speed record set in 2015 by the camera, which made 4.4 trillion frames per second.

The developers hope that the technology will be useful in research in the field of biomedicine and in the study of materials. Also, scientists already see opportunities to increase the speed of shooting up to one quadrillion frames per second.
