In electronics, gold's excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion make it invaluable. A single smartphone contains about 50 mg of gold in its components, primarily in connection points where reliability is crucial. The metal's ability to conduct electricity while resisting oxidation means these connections remain stable over many years of use.

In medicine, gold nanoparticles are revolutionising cancer treatment. These tiny particles can be engineered to seek out cancer cells and, when heated with infrared light, destroy tumours while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. Gold's biocompatibility means the body can safely process and eliminate these nanoparticles after treatment.

Golds use in healthcare and technology mean it's an invaluable asset and one that has a continued importance and relevance in society. This adds to its value as an investment product also.
