IISER, helped by Kolkata art gallery, develops tech that can certify artworks without touching them

Kolkata researchers have unveiled RaFiTech, a groundbreaking, non-invasive Raman spectroscopy technique to authenticate paintings. This innovation replaces destructive sampling with a laser-based method, reading unique pigment molecular signatures. Securing seven patents, it offers an objective, scientific pathway to verify artworks, bolstering trust in the art world.
