Hidden dimensions: 3D scanner reveals the inner secrets of artworks
- 9 years ago
It has long been known that, below the surface, works of art often contain important information about how they were created. However, revealing those secrets in a way that does not damage the object is a major challenge for art experts.
Now, researchers at the University of Oviedo in northern Spain think they have the answer; “a scanner using the highly versatile material, graphene.“https://www.google.fr/search?q=www.insidde-fp7.eu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=jAVSVdLlK4TLyAO05AE.
Samuel Ver Hoeye, a telecommunications engineer involved in the research explained its advantages:
“Graphene acts as a frequency multiplier. It is able to generate higher frequency signals out of lower frequencies, in a relatively easy way. Graphene also allows us to go deeper into the work of art, and to identify the chemical composition of its materials,” he said.

The pictures obtained with the graphene scanner are then combined with image processing techniques and 3D high-p
