Investigating cracks in paintings on the SOLEIL synchrotron
The formation of cracks in paintings has many aspects – not only mechanical, but also chemical. Answers to the question about the processes taking place near the fracture can be provided by the distribution of the chemical composition in its vicinity. Such a study at the SOLEIL synchrotron near Paris is conducted by Łukasz Bratasz READ MORE
The new version of HERIe is now available!
The previous tool for the quantitative assessment of risk of physical damage of cultural objects due to climate variations has become part of a larger platform, a pilot form of research infrastructure for cultural heritage science, developed for the IPERION HS consortium (http://www.iperionhs.eu/). The platform will allow to estimate the risk associated with the ten READ MORE
