How neutron imaging is revolutionizing dinosaur and artifact research [Video]

• Imaging techniques, such as X-rays and CTs, help paleontologists and anthropologists to identify and learn about fossils and artifacts.
• Neutron imaging is a newer technology that is more effective when complex structures or soft tissue remains.
• Its distinct nuclear properties reveal hidden details, making it a powerful tool for studying fossils, artifacts, and biological specimens.

Exploring the depths of our planet’s history goes beyond the expertise of paleontologists and anthropologists alone. It hinges on advanced imaging technologies that empower scientists to delve into the concealed interiors of fossils and artifacts.

From the early days of X-rays to the latest developments in X-ray CT, a new contender in the field has emerged – neutron imaging. This relatively recent technology has proven to be transformative, providing …
