A gold layer that’s mere molecules thick reflects infrared light to protect satellites and space suits. Gold is the metal of choice for many medical and dental applications, from gold teeth to surgical implants. It’s used in some of the most advanced nano- technology applications, in which individual molecules and atoms are controlled. And it all starts out as a rock in the ground.
