TL;DR Summary

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking scientific camera, SCARF, capable of capturing images at an encoding rate of 156.3 trillion frames per second, enabling the study of micro-events that occur too quickly for current scientific sensors. The camera, developed by Professor Jinyang Liang and his team at Canada’s INRS, uses a computational imaging modality to capture spatial information by letting light enter its sensor at slightly different times, allowing for the observation of ultrafast phenomena. SCARF has the potential to revolutionize fields such as shock wave mechanics and medicine, and while currently focused on research, commercial versions are being developed for scientific institutions.
