Gold fascinates researchers in many sciences. As well as being attractive as a precious metal, gold has important physical and electrical properties that cause it to be an ’advanced material’ for manufacturing and drug delivery in medical science. Geologically, gold can be transported in solution in ambient as well as high-temperature fluids, and its mineralogy, composition and crystallography are often used to decipher and interpret the genesis of different gold-bearing ore systems. Because gold is a metal, its study requires a detailed understanding of metallography. Finally, nanocrystals of gold and its alloys display unique properties, and these products are finding widespread application in manufacturing and are also seen in the natural environment. This issue of Elements describes new observations about a metal that has fascinated humans since early times. Current research spans the fields of geochemistry, crystallography, and metallurgy, and includes novel studies in the materials sciences.
