Development of the camera of the world's fastest.

That it has developed a camera of the world's fastest that can be continuous shooting time each shorter than 1 second 1 trillionth, joint research team of Keio University and University of Tokyo announced in the scientific journal Nature Photonics electronic version of 10 date. In high performance thousand times greater than the conventional fast camera, and it may be possible to clearly photographed the chemical reaction or plasma phenomenon be taken so far been difficult.
1 sec 1 trillionth (1 picosecond), a slight time enough light to be seven and a half laps the earth in one second does not proceed only 0, 3 mm. This camera mechanism is broken into each wavelength further light corresponding to the flash that flashes 1 trillion or more times per second, and applied to the subject one after another to obtain a continuous image.
It is amazing technology, research and nuclear fusion it is likely to go largely behavior of the plasma is captured clearly.

１兆分の１秒よりも短い時間ごとの連写撮影ができる世界最高速のカメラを開発したと、東京大と慶応大の共同研究チームが１０日付の科学誌ネイチャーフォトニクス電子版に発表した。従来の高速カメラの千倍以上高い性能で、これまで捉えることが難しかったプラズマ現象や化学反応などを鮮明に撮影できる可能性があるという。
　１兆分の１秒（１ピコ秒）は、１秒で地球７周半もする光が０・３ミリしか進まないほどのわずかな時間。このカメラは、１秒に１兆回以上点滅するフラッシュに相当する光をさらに波長ごとに細かく分け、次々に被写体に当て、連写画像を得る仕組み。
凄い技術ですね、プラズマの振る舞いが鮮明に捉えられると核融合などの研究が大きく進みそうですね。
