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. <br /><br /> 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. <br /><br /> Samuel Ver Hoeye, a telecommunications engineer involved in the research explained its advantages:<br /><br /> “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. <br /><br /> Graphene scanner<br />The pictures obtained with the graphene scanner are then combined with image processing techniques and 3D high-p
