Researchers from Caltech, JPL, and the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg have developed an incredible imaging technique that captures the split-second reactions in combustion at an astonishing 250 billion frames per second!

This cutting-edge technology helps scientists study how soot forms during combustion, a major contributor to climate change. 🌍 Understanding these details could lead to cleaner engines and a better grasp of how everyday flames impact the environment.
