Microchips “require very high degrees of precision,” Kachkine explains. “And it turns out a lot of the techniques we use to achieve that level of precision are applicable to art restoration.” Kachkine explains that he hopes conservators will be able to “leverage the benefits” of the techniques he gleaned from engineering to preserve “really valuable cultural heritage.” Full story via The New York Times→ This edition of the MIT Daily was brought to you by so many places to sleep. 💤 In observance of Labor Day, the MIT Daily will return on Sept. 2.
