As part of the Fiat Lux scientific project, the painted decorations of the chapel of Notre-Dame-des-Fontaines are studied by a team of interdisciplinary researchers. Using LIBS, they will be able to identify the chemical elements that make up the pictorial materials among all those in Mendeleev's periodic table. Many other tools are used in this project designed to capture and disseminate heritage in a new way in the digital age.
