Compact camera can identify objects at the speed of light

The article from MSN discusses a groundbreaking development in camera technology by researchers at the University of California, San Diego. They have created a compact camera capable of identifying objects at the speed of light, utilizing a technique known as "single-photon imaging." This camera uses a laser to emit photons which bounce off objects and return to the sensor, allowing the camera to capture and analyze the time-of-flight of these photons with extreme precision. This technology not only identifies objects but does so in environments where traditional cameras would fail, such as in complete darkness or through smoke, due to its ability to detect single photons. The implications of this technology are vast, potentially revolutionizing fields like autonomous driving, security, and medical imaging by providing real-time, high-resolution imaging in challenging conditions.
