Headlines: Capture the speed of light

A team from MIT media labs have created a camera that can take one trillion exposures per second.  This enables them to record light itself traveling from one point to another. The team was able to snap a single image of a laser as it bounces around inside a soda bottle before the light dispenses. The revolutionary camrea may have a fast shutter but the amount of  time it takes to process the images have earned it the nickname of the "the world's slowest fastest camera."
