An international collaboration of scientists have created the highest resolution atomic movie of photosynthesis in the world. It is thought that photosynthesis came about in the early days of Earth when a single-celled organism developed a mutation. The team managed to capture all four stable states of photosynthesis using the x-ray laser at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The aim of the experiment was to make an atomic movie of this essential process in high resolution. The latest experiment has an improved resolution to 2 angstroms which allowed the scientists to see the position of lighter atoms.
