Someday, people will look back at all the CSI "Enhance!" jokes and never get them. The picture above was taken by AWARE-2, a 50-gigapixel camera system built by a team led by David Brady at Duke's Pratt School of Engineering. As you can see, it has pretty insane enhance capabilities, even though it hasn't reached its 50-gigapixel theoretical limit, so given enough time and funding, we could catch a killer by enhancing a photo of a license plate.
