The Mongolian collection of the Ethnological Museum of the National Museums in Berlin contains a unique Gungervaa shrine. Among the objects found inside were three tiny scrolls, wrapped in silk. Using 3D X-ray tomography, a team at HZB was able to create a digital copy of one of the scrolls. With a mathematical method, the scroll could be virtually unrolled to reveal the scripture on the strip. This method is also used in battery research. The paper is published in the Journal of Cultural Heritage.
