Glass Harp
Ever since I was introduced to wine glasses and champagne flutes, I’ve always tried to make them sing a tone (maybe after a few drinks).
The Glass Duo takes this up a magnitude. I didn’t even realize this was a thing until I saw this on YouTube and saw the great swathes of related videos.
Awesome stuff.
Capturing video at the speed of light — one trillion frames per second
So what kind of camera do you have? How fast can it shoot? 1/4000th of a second? 1/8000th of a second? Pshaw. What do you think of a camera that can shoot 1/1,000,000,000,000th of a second? That’s so fast that it can capture light traveling in slow motion!
MIT researchers have created a new imaging system that can acquire visual data at a rate of one trillion exposures per second. That’s fast enough to produce a slow-motion video of a burst of light traveling the length of a one-liter bottle, bouncing off the cap and reflecting back to the bottle’s bottom.
