New camera tech captures femtosecond reactions and minutes-long shockwaves

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a novel optical technology called BRIDGE that allows for the simultaneous capture of extremely fast and slow events within a single frame. This innovation addresses the limitations of traditional high-speed cameras, which typically require a choice between capturing brief, rapid phenomena or longer, slower processes. BRIDGE utilizes logarithmic capture intervals to map entire physical cycles, enabling scientists to visualize phenomena like 100-femtosecond chemical reactions alongside minutes-long shockwaves. AI

IMPACT Enables new scientific visualization techniques for complex physical processes.
