World Gold Council launches initiative to accelerate the development of emerging technologies utilising gold
The World Gold Council today announced that it is to play a pivotal role in the transition of new gold-based innovations from ‘lab' to ‘market'. There has been an explosion of interest in the use of gold in science and technology, mainly driven by the emergence of nanotechnology, yet breakthroughs in research are slow to achieve commercial success due to lack of further targeted investment and support. The World Gold Council's initiative will help bridge the gap between government-funded early stage research and venture capital-backed commercialisation through investing in gold-related technology in the fields of medical diagnosis and treatment, protecting the environment and renewable energy.
This announcement is accompanied by a new report, Gold: The hidden element in innovation, which details how the use of gold has led to the development of ground-breaking advances. As technology continues to progress, gold will be used in a multitude of new products and processes, and the World Gold Council expects these innovations will help address critical needs in medicine and the protection of the environment.
Dr Richard Holliday, Director, Technology at the World Gold Council said:
"The role of gold at the heart of many scientific advances is an untold story of innovation. Although little heralded, gold is the hidden element that has increased the efficiency, accuracy and effectiveness of many technologies. We will continue to provide our expertise and resources to help bring exciting new gold-based technologies through to commercialisation."For more information Visit At www.capitalvia.com
The new report includes examples of the World Gold Council's involvement in supporting innovative technologies, such as:
-
Professor Molly Stevens and her team at Imperial College London, who are exploiting the versatility of gold nanoparticles to design tools which are showing great promise in improving the early diagnosis of many diseases including HIV/AIDS and sepsis.
-
Professor Michael Wong's lab at Rice University, Texas, which has developed a gold-alloy nanoparticle catalyst, which breaks down poisonous groundwater pollutants, a common health hazard.
-
Professor Carole Perry and her team at Nottingham Trent University, who have demonstrated that combining gold nanoparticles with antibiotics may lead to materials with improved and longer-lasting antimicrobial effectiveness.
The World Gold Council has also formed a new International Technology Advisory Board comprised of internationally recognised experts to help provide additional insight and guidance on its research and development activities in 2011 and beyond.

Can gold be added to steel?
Obviously this is an easy question for anyone who works with metal. However, I am currently writing a book and had an idea that had to do with these two metals. Is it possible for gold to be folded into steel while it is being forged? Do 3-metal alloys exist? If this is not possible with current metal-working techniques and technology, what would be needed to make it possible? And finally, what exactly would the mixing of these two yield? A weak metal? A brittle metal? How would it compare to iron or gunmetal? If you have no idea, please offer speculations. Thank you!
Since steel is already an alloy (iron with other metals or carbon), you're not alloying gold with a a metal per se. It is possible, though, to alloy gold with steel.
However, the creation of any alloy has a practical application behind it. For example, gold is alloyed with silver and copper because otherwise, the gold is too soft to stand up to the use it is intended for and needs to be hardened. Gold does have limited industrial use, but it is primarily a precious metal for use in jewelry and coins.
Steel is almost entirely an industrial-use product. There is no good reason to waste a precious metal in the making of steel, so it just isn't done.
The only way for this to make any sense at all would be if you were writing a work of fiction about a world where gold was cheap and plentiful but iron was not, and therefore gold would be used to manufacture common items and it would only be the precious iron added to give the alloy any special properties required. Except that, in true scientific terms, a weapon made from 75% gold and 25% steel would not make for a very strong weapon. And it would be very heavy, on top of it, gold being so dense.
Here's some reference about the many metal alloys that exist. You will note that gold with steel is not among them. For more specifics on what alloying gold with iron would yield, find a local expert on metallurgy.
