Audio / Video filesWe all recognise the outstanding beauty and value of gold. Yet it is easy to overlook the important role for gold arising from its unique technical properties. Gold, like other important industrial metals, has many unique physical and chemical attributes that mean it is the best, indeed the only, material for certain industrial applications. These Audio / Video files help to explain how the technical properties of gold are being exploited for new, leading-edge technologies like industrial catalysts, optical materials, nanotechnology and biomedical applications, including possible new anti-cancer drugs. The programme ‘Gold – Novel Technologies and Applications’ contains interviews with leading researchers from around the world who are working with gold in one form or another, be it gold nanoparticles, coatings or chemicals. Individual interviews or the full programme can be downloaded or streamed below. Help with our Audio / Video files.
