Imaging technology similar to that used in airport security scanners has detected the face of an Ancient Roman man hidden below the surface of a wall painting in Paris’ Louvre museum.
The discovery was announced by the American Chemical Society, which is world’s largest scientific society, at its national meeting in New Orleans. Doctor J. Bianca Jackson reported on the research, saying: “Terahertz technology has been in use for some time, especially in quality control in the pharmaceutical industry to assure the integrity of pills and capsules, in biomedical imaging and even in homeland security with those whole-body scanners that see beneath clothing at airport security check points, but its use in examining artefacts and artworks is relatively new.”
