The development in the 1970s of new techniques for radio-carbon dating, which required much smaller quantities of source material, [8] prompted the Roman Catholic Church to found the Shroud of Turin Research Project (S.Tu.R.P.), which involved about 30 scientists of various religious faiths, including non-Christians.
In March 2013, Giulio Fanti, professor of mechanical and thermal measurement at the University of Padua conducted a battery of experiments on various threads that he believes were cut from the shroud during the 1988 carbon-14 dating, and concluded that they dated from 300 BC to 400 AD, potentially placing the Shroud within the lifetime of Jesus ...

In recent years, he further researched material relevant to the dating of the Shroud, publishing his findings in Thermochimica Acta. In 1978, the team of scientists conducted their testing over five days in Turin, Italy. Until Rogers's death in 2005, he continued to study the Shroud and explain the studies he had undertaken.

The PBS documentary Secrets of the Dead: Shroud of Christ, which aired in April 2004, presented new and controversial claims that the Shroud of Turin was the authentic burial cloth of Jesus. Several experts disputed these opinions, since carbon-dating tests performed in 1988 placed its origin 1300 years too late. Specifically, Zias noted that ...
