...d. Electronic spectroscopy measurements made on a femtosecond (millionths of a billionth of a second) time-scale showed these oscillations meeting and interfering constructively, forming wavelike motions of energy (superposition states) that can explore all potential energy pathways simultaneously and reversibl...Quantum secrets of photosynthesis revealed

The X-ray beam delivered by the new source is - at present - too weak for any practical applications, but the research team are confident that technical improvements will boost the X-ray power by several orders of magnitude.
