Trillion FPS Camera Captures Advancing Light Waves

That article title captured my attention. Here's a quote:

...Nor does the camera run for a full second. The movies are 480 frames long, and show a slice in time of just 1.71 picoseconds.
The result is a movie of an advancing wave of light. The individual frames can also be colorized to show a rainbow of wavefronts...
Hmmm...take a movie of an advancing wave of light. I wonder how metal print of that would look.

Original article (not very long) here.
