Stretching time scales to explore extreme events in nature has seemed impossible, yet this feat is now conceivable thanks to a team of researchers that used an innovative measurement technique to enabe the capture of such events in real time. This technique, which is currently applied in the field of photonics, could help predict rogue wave events on the ocean surface, along with other extreme natural phenomena.
