Did you just see that?
The race towards capturing more frames per second has a new leader.
Publication at Nature Communications of paper describing compressed ultrafast spectral photography – CUSP. Researchers Peng Wang, Jinyang Liang, and Lihong V. Wang claim CUSP captures up to 70 trillion frames per second. We still can’t move in the forth dimension, but for now that’s the closest we get from standing time.
This is not out of the blue. For the record, this race have been going on for a while. Recent methods that are also in the trillion club are Lund University back in 2017 below, and STAMP camera developed in Japan a few years earlier.

Tracing Stolen Bitcoin
Making Bitcoin Legal, by Ross Anderson, Ilia Shumailov and Mansoor Ahmed from Cambridge University Computer Laboratory
The idea is to apply FIFO tainting to the blockchain. Not only one could track stolen coins but also start at a given UTXO and trace it back. Authors claim this is a more effective method of tracking stolen property when compared to poison or haircut methods.
