Right here, right now: X‐ray absorption spectroscopy is a method of general applicability to identify changes in the local structure around an X‐ray absorbing atom (see picture). With improvements in synchrotron radiation techniques, the advent of the slicing scheme, and the application of pump‐probe experiments, the time window of X‐ray absorption spectroscopy is reduced to about 100 femtoseconds.
