AI & X-RAY TO SCAN AND READ ALL ANCIENT HERCULANEUM SCROLLS “Everything we find is a surprise,” said Federica Nicolardi, a papyrologist from the University of Naples Federico II. Nicolardi selected the scrolls for the Vesuvius Challenge project, and delivered to the Diamond Light Source facility near Oxford.
