From here:
Scientists at MIT have developed a camera system so fast that it lets us watch light move...MIT researcher Ramesh Raskar gave a talk explaining how this works and what it means, and it's definitely worth watching. In short, his team used hundreds of camera sensors triggered in quick succession to capture pieces of images at a super-high framerate. And because the images came out almost pitch black — fast exposures require more light — the shots were taken over and over again and layered on top of one another until the light became visible. Incredible.
 
I am going to have to look at this from home (my computer at work has been crashing when watching videos :( ).
