MIT Media Lab researchers have created a new imaging system that can acquire visual data at a rate of one trillion frames per second. That's fast enough to produce a slow-motion video of light traveling through objects.

It's not photons?! Not even close.

Almost revolutionary! But each frame of video is compiled from many images so it's not showing true slow motion of a single event. For example if the slow motion imaging of the bullet passing through the apple was created the same way as the photon imaging they would have needed to fire many bullets into many apples and then combine the information from all bullets at the same point to make each frame of video. But each bullet event is unique while each photon event is identical (so they say).
