You never know when the perfect shot will appear before your eyes. It usually breaks down here - before we find the phone, unlock the screen, or before we pull out the camera and wait for the shutter to open, it's all over. Japanese scientists promise us that a new camera is waiting for us, which will never miss a single magical moment.
The team from of Keio University and University of Tokyo has developed a camera that uses the so-called STAMP technique - Sequentially Timed All-Optical Mapping Photography, which has reached the level of incredible 4.4 trillion frames per second, which certainly makes this camera one of the fastest in the world.
Discoveries published by the journal Nature Photonics show that the technique used is based on femto photography (1 trillion frames per second) in motion, which maps the movement of the object over time in an "explosive stream" and thus displays the object in different spatial profiles. There are recordings extremely high resolution for this type of camera – 450 x 450 pixels, which is roughly the size of a normal image on a website.

Their next goal is to reduce the size of the camera, which currently occupies quite a bit square meter of area – and improve resolution. They also hope that the camera will be useful for studies of chemical reactions, heat conductors and in various medical purposes - probably his mission will not be just a documentation of a cat trying to jump over an obstacle.
