Scientific council public talk

Neutron imaging in natural and cultural Heritage: present capabilities and future perspectives presented by Anna Fedrigo.

Heritage Science encompasses the study of objects and materials of historical, artistic, anthropological, and natural significance, bridging conservation with the broader investigation of our cultural and evolutionary past. As the field evolves, non-destructive analytical techniques have become essential, particularly for irreplaceable artefacts and specimens that must be preserved for future generations. Among these, neutron imaging stands out as a uniquely powerful tool, offering unparalleled insights into hidden structures, materials, and manufacturing processes.
This presentation will highlight the opportunities brought by neutron imaging in Heritage Science, showcasing recent case studies and cutting-edge technical capabilities. These methods enable researchers to reveal hidden structures, materials, and manufacturing processes within a diverse range of objects. The talk will conclude with a discussion of future directions, emphasising the potential for further innovation and collaboration.
