Wonders of Heritage


MOBILE NMR and The Use of NMR Relaxation and Portable NMR in Cultural Heritage
Mobile NMR combines permanent magnets with surface radio-frequency coils to record nuclear magnetic resonance experiments non-invasively.


PRINCIPLES OF NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE (NMR)
The basic principles of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) rely on the behavior of nuclear spins in an external magnetic field.


X-RAY FLUORESCENCE for the Elemental Analysis of Artwork
X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy is a valuable tool for the elemental analysis of artwork. There are many applications of XRF in art. The applications of XRF in cultural heritage come from its ability of performing elemental analysis on the art objects, thus revealing their elemental composition. We can use XRF spectroscopy to analyze cultural heritage objects like paintings, sculptures, mosaics, coins, wall paintings, etc. The XRF analysis reveals details of materials used in


THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM and The Use of Electromagnetic Waves in Cultural Heritage
The electromagnetic spectrum consists of all the electromagnetic waves of all possible energies moving through space at the speed of light.


ATOMIC Structure and MOLECULAR Structure: Atoms, Molecules, and Crystals in Cultural Heritage
All tangible heritage (art and historical objects, natural heritage) are made of the same building blocks: atoms, molecules, and crystals.


THE BIRDMAN COMPETITION: “The Hunger Games” of Rapa Nui
The birdman competition of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) was an annual competition revolving around the manutara bird egg to bring peace.
