Sažetak
Metals are the backbone of modern civilization, indispensable for countless technological applications and crucial to many biological processes. But it is only through advanced technology that we have begun to fully understand their distribution and behavior, unlocking the potential for groundbreaking research in a variety of disciplines. This talk will introduce the audience to the important role of metals in fields such as geochemistry, environmental chemistry, materials science, and health assessment. From deciphering sediment deposition and their fate in landfills to studying the uptake of nutrients in biota and mitigating the harmful effects of pollution, metals offer invaluable insights into some of the most pressing scientific questions of our time. Interdisciplinary research has also unearthed exciting new applications for metals, such as linking their presence in certain organs to disease incidence and even exploring the mechanisms of bacterial survival in space. Overall, the study of metals is important for understanding a wide range of scientific phenomena, and as interdisciplinary research and new analytical techniques continue to advance, it is likely that the importance of metals in science will only continue to grow.
