Heraeus Precious Metals Forecast 2021

Most precious metals will continue their recent upward trend, according to Heraeus Precious Metals, the world's largest precious metals processor. Gold is expected to reach new record highs.

Resistant materials for space

Not only the distances but also the environmental conditions pose huge challenges in space. Strong temperature fluctuations and cosmic radiation cause satellites, research equipment and space suits to age rapidly.

Artificial synapses modeled on the brain

It makes it easier for us to park, gives us shopping suggestions or orders goods from Amazon: Artificial intelligence (AI) often proves to be a great help for us humans. It does this by analyzing vast amounts of data in just a few seconds - until now, this has always been based on software. But however intelligent the algorithms may be, conventional computer chips are increasingly reaching their limits. Their computing power is insufficient and they consume too much power. Applications such as autonomous driving with "connected cars" are practically impossible to implement. The solution: The hardware must also be intelligent. Artificial synapses, which mimic the neurons in the human brain and have a similar learning ability, are very promising.

Clean Air For All

Everyone needs it to live. It is precious, and the legal and social pressure to protect it is increasing, with stricter requirements on the rise. This is creating major challenges, but also outstanding opportunities.

Food For Everyone

As the world food demand continues to grow, so does the need for solutions to increase crop yields. This opens up good market opportunities, but also presents challenges.

Living a Long, Healthy Life

Health is important to everyone, regardless of age. But as people are living longer, the incidence of cancer is increasing.

Energy Storage for the Future

The energy transition is of prime importance in fighting global climate change, and it is making good progress.
