Abstract
For more than 50 years, x-ray tubes and later synchrotrons provide efficient x-ray sources in solid state physics, biology and chemistry to look at atomic positions and x-ray crystallography has become a fantastic tool to reveal the atomic structure of the matter. When it was realized that transient structures could have lifetimes limited to few hundred femtoseconds, challenging new x-ray techniques have been developed to look at such extremely short time scale. Different programs have been launched worldwide in the field of synchrotrons, free electron lasers and linear accelerators.
