The fastest imaging system ever devised has been demonstrated by researchers reporting in the journal Nature. Their camera's "shutter speed" is just a half a billionth of a second, and it can capture over six million images in a second continuously. Its "flashbulb" is a fast laser pulse dispersed in space and then stretched in time and detected electronically. The approach will be instrumental in imaging fast-moving or random events, such as communication between neurons. What is more, the camera works with just one detector, rather than the millions in a typical digital camera. Beam me up >>

"and it can capture over six million images in a second continuously" Would love to see their faces down at Boots if you threw a disc from this camera on the counter and said, "do us two copies of these in semi-matt please mate" ;D
