100 billion fps, anybody?

Spotted this article over on Engadget:

I didn't realise such cameras could possibly exist. Obviously limited to scientific usage but it's pretty remarkable, no matter how you look at it. Seeing laser light bouncing around like gas is fascinating.

I was going to see your hundred billion and raise you to a trillion. But I just discovered this.

Truly. Mind blown.

I was reading some time ago a scientific article about the ability to capture events happening on molecular dynamics in the femtosecond range.

Femtosecond it's 1000 trillion (= 1 quadrilion) fps.

Holy cow! That's astouding stuff!
