Recent developments in X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) technology allow us to observe processes that occur on the femtosecond time scale (femtosecond = quadrillionth of a second). Kirrander group at Edinburgh are using this to study ultrafast photochemical reactions like photosynthesis.

X-ray technique could shed light on photosynthesis and vitamin D production
