MIT creates camera that shoots 1 trillion fps and can see light in motion

MIT has created a camera that can actually view light in motion. By firing trillions of pulses of light and syncing their cameras shutter, they can create a video that shows how light moves through space and reacts to mass. By recording this amazing detail, these cameras can actually see into objects and around corners by monitoring the way the light bounces off and around an object.

NASA astronaut Don Pettit made thin sheets of ice aboard the International Space Station then put them under crossed polarizers. The polarized light reveals the crystalline structure of the ice.
