Default Frickin' LASERS (Warning: Science content)

So, MIT has developed a camera that can see light. Okay, not so impressive; all cameras see light. But does your camera shoot at 1 TRILLIONTH of a second? Can it see a laser pulse and make a video of it?

Didn't think so.

MIT builds camera that can capture at the speed of light (video) -- Engadget

So it's 5 cameras shooting the same scene through the same lens, but it can see a laser pulse pass through stuff.

If it's strapped to a shark's head I'd be really impressed.
