"Breakthrough: Camera Captures 156.3 Trillion Frames per Second"

Researchers at the National Institute of Scientific Research have developed SCARF, an ultrafast camera capable of capturing up to 156.3 trillion frames per second, surpassing previous groundbreaking technology like T-CUP. This cutting-edge imaging device is expected to expand knowledge boundaries across various fields and will be particularly useful for observing non-repeatable phenomena. SCARF overcomes limitations of previous systems and is constructed using off-the-shelf and passive optical components, making it relatively inexpensive to build. Two companies are already working to bring the camera to market.

"Breakthrough: Ultrafast Camera Sets Record at 156.3 Trillion Frames Per Second"

Canadian researchers have developed the SCARF camera system, capable of capturing up to 156.3 trillion frames per second using passive femtosecond imaging. This breakthrough in ultrafast photography allows for the study of micro-events that occur too quickly for existing sensors, such as absorption in a semiconductor and demagnetization of a metal alloy. The camera uses computational imaging to process time-staggered inputs and create a full picture, enabling the study of phenomena like femtosecond laser ablation and shock-wave interaction with living cells. The system, made using off-the-shelf optical components, represents a significant advancement in ultrafast imaging technology.
