“Transforming Life”, Episode 4 of The Golden Thread documentary series, chronicles early alchemical thought of gold being useful to science and medicine, and the realisation of some of those early hypotheses thanks to gold nanoparticles. Specific applications of gold nanoparticles, including testing, virus destruction and vaccine delivery are detailed, and we see a lens into the future of medical monitoring and wearables via “electronic skin”. Presented by Dr. Hannah Fry, Episode 4 features commentary from Dr. Warren Chan, Canada Research Chair in Nanobioengineering at the University of Toronto, and Dr. John Rogers, Director of the Querrey Simpson Institute for Bioelectronics at Northwestern University.
