Hyperspectral imaging: analyzes the parts other techniques cannot reach. In-situ analysis of The Man with the Key, by sculptor Auguste Rodin, recently allowed researchers to assess various parts of the sculpture (either hidden or invisible to the naked eye), not only identifying two corrosion products – antlerite and brochantite – but also allowing the mapping of their spatial distribution (1).

A former library manager and storyteller, I have wanted to write for magazines since I was six years old, when I used to make my own out of foolscap paper and sellotape and distribute them to my family. Since getting my MSc in Publishing, I’ve worked as a freelance writer and content creator for both digital and print, writing on subjects such as fashion, food, tourism, photography – and the history of Roman toilets.
