De Caro works at the Institute of Crystallography of the National Research Council in Bari, Italy. His team developed since 2019 the “Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering,” NcRegister.com (April 18) writes.
It analyses the natural aging of cellulose in linen cloths caused by ambient temperature and humidity. The scientist studied a series of samples from linen fabrics ranging in age from 3000 BC to 2000 AD.
The curves below show that the sample of the Shroud of Turin (orange curve) is somehow similar to the linen that is about 2000 years old (green).
