Laser Ablation for Art Restoration

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
FLORENCE, Italy, March 2, 2010 – Laser ablation has found numerous applications in biomedical and industrial settings. This technique involves removing material from a solid surface by vaporizing the material with a laser beam. Doctors, for example, use laser ablation in medicine to remove unwanted tattoos from the skin. In industry, the technique can remove paints, coatings and other material without damaging the underlying surface. Now, according to an article in ACS' monthly journal, Accounts of Chemical Research, this technique is being used to preserve sculptures, paintings and other works of art. Art...Read full article

    laser ablation
    Laser ablation is a process that involves the removal or erosion of material from a target surface using laser energy. This technique is widely used in various scientific, industrial, and medical applications. The intense energy from the laser beam interacts with the material, causing it to undergo physical and chemical changes, ultimately leading to its removal. Key features of laser ablation include: Laser energy: A high-energy laser beam is directed onto the surface of a material. The...
