We present the advances in x-ray femtosecond pulse generation and the most recent discoveries in the field of ultrashort (femtosecond) x-ray science. Nowadays x-rays show their potential not only when it comes to resolving atomic spatial scale but also the inherent temporal scale of quantum dynamics in atoms, molecules and solids. We discuss ultrafast x-ray sources that are currently used to generate femtosecond duration pulses of soft and hard x-ray radiation. Several techniques of x-ray pulse characterization are presented along with a method to control the shape of coherent soft x-rays. A large number of experiments using femtosecond x-ray pulses have been conducted recently and we review some of them. The field of ultrafast x-ray science draws its strength from the large variety of different sources of femtosecond duration x-ray pulses that are complementary rather than competing.
