Researchers at Curtin University, in collaboration with scientists at the infra-red (IR) beamline at the Australian Synchrotron, have been using synchrotron IR microscopy to investigate the chemistry of latent fingermarks and how this changes with time. Fingermarks from donors of different age and gender were deposited on gold-plated glass and subjected to IR analysis at regular intervals over a period of 12 months.

Gold plating is a term that is often heard when buying gold jewelry, but not many people truly understand what does gold plated means.

In simplest terms, gold plating refers to the process of applying a thin layer of gold onto a surface. The resulting product is known as gold plated.

There are a few different methods that can be used to gold plate a surface.

One of the most common methods is electroplating. In this process, an electric current is used to deposit a thin layer of gold onto a surface. The surface being plated is placed in a solution containing dissolved gold ions, and an electric current is passed through the solution. The gold ions are attracted to the surface being plated, and they adhere to it, forming a thin layer of gold.

Another method of gold plating is called immersion plating. This method involves immersing the object being plated into a solution containing dissolved gold ions. The object is left in the solution for a certain amount of time, allowing the gold ions to adhere to the surface. This method is typically used for smaller objects, as it can be difficult to immerse larger objects completely.

So why gold plated is popular? There are a few reasons.

For one, gold plating can make an object look more luxurious and expensive. It can also protect the surface of the object from corrosion or other forms of wear and tear. Additionally, gold plating can improve the electrical conductivity of a surface.

It's important to note that gold plating does not necessarily mean that the entire object is made of gold. In fact, most gold plated objects are made of a different material altogether, with only a thin layer of gold on the surface. This is done to reduce the cost of the object while still providing the appearance of gold.

It's also important to note that not all gold plated objects are created equal. The quality of the plating can vary widely depending on the method used, the thickness of the gold layer, and the quality of the gold itself. A higher quality gold plating will typically be thicker and more durable, resulting in a longer-lasting and more lustrous finish.

In summary, gold plated is the process of applying a thin layer of gold onto a surface. This can be done using electroplating or immersion plating methods. Gold plating is used to improve the appearance, durability, and conductivity of a surface. While not all gold plated objects are created equal, a high-quality gold plating can provide a long-lasting and luxurious finish.
