Art Under a New Wavelength
Special | 7m 5sVideo has Closed Captions
A solution for a medical problem is adapted to solve another problem in art.
Technologies originally designed to address one problem can be adapted to solve another. In this case, a laser used to image and diagnose skin cancer is now being used to study centuries-old works of art. Lasers can probe pigments to detect forgeries, study and determine conservation techniques, and even clean works of art.
