Advances in the technique continue.

Misleading headline on the article, though.

Digitally unwrapped scroll reveals earliest Old Testament scripture

“Each fragment’s main structure, completely burned and crushed, had turned into chunks of charcoal that continued to disintegrate every time they were touched,” said the study.
So researchers used advanced digital scanning tools to “virtually unwrap” the scroll and see its contents, without ever touching it.
A micro–computed tomography (micro-CT) scan was able to pick up traces of metal in the ink.
“We were amazed at the quality of the images,” said Michael Segal, head of the School of Philosophy and Religions at Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
“Much of the text is as readable, or close to as readable as actual unharmed Dead Sea Scrolls or high resolution photographs of them.”

Keep up the good work, boys.
