The MDPI Open Access Publishing – Applied sciences will publish a Special Issue entitled: “Beyond the surface: Novel Non-Destructive Techniques to Explore Works of Art”.
Today the variety of artistic materials requires a multi analytical approach for comprehensive knowledge and the interpretation of the results. This holistic approach, while enhancing the quality of the results, raises the problem of handling a huge and complex amount of data, of storing and making them available to the heritage science community.
The primary purpose of this Special Issue is to create a collection of cutting-edge techniques for the study of #CH objects, and to point out the fruitfulness of an integrated survey based on a multidisciplinary approach. The goal is to provide a suite of new tools to reliably understand the materials/composition/structure of an artwork.
The special issue editors, Raffaella Fontana and Alice Dal Fovo from Istituto Nazionale di Ottica del CNR, invite heritage scientists to submit manuscripts by 15 May 2021.

Deadline: 15 May 2021
