Scientists have developed an entirely new approach to imaging that does not require a CCD or CMOS camera. Building on more than a decade of research on photonic time stretch, a technique for capturing illusive events, the team has demonstrated a continuous running camera that captures images at 6 million frames per second, roughly a thousand times faster than conventional cameras.
