Time to move on to nibbles and networking.

The different approaches and technologies are stimulating new research questions and potential collaborations.

Neutron diffraction can help authenticate historical objects in a non-distructive way.

Neutron scattering - at large scale facilities - can provide details of internal structures even in moving objects.

Fascinating slides showing how 3D metrology can explore rifeling marks on barrel of the 1790 gun.

Pistol on display dated to 1790 by historical records, X-ray shows modern repair, and 3D neutron tomography can show stress in metal

Ballistic technologies can be used to explore effectiveness of historical weapons.

Some wonderful objects on display at launch courtesy of the Royal Armouries in Leeds illustrate multi-disciplinary research collaboration
