Silver News: Draw Electric Circuits, Hide Like an Octopus, and More…
The October issue of Silver News is now available from The Silver Institute. This edition begins with an interview with Ruth Crowell, Chief Executive of the London Bullion Market Association. Crowell talks mostly about the new silver pricing mechanism that replaced the London Silver Fix, which is begin administered by CME Group and Thomson Reuters. She described the main difference of the new system that was rolled out in August:
The major differences are that there is an independent third-party administrator as well as additional price participants and increased transparency. The information, which is displayed across multiple platforms, shows the live auction rounds, which mirrors what an actual participant sees while taking part.”
The October Silver News covers a variety of other developments in the silver industry, including:
- Silver is being used to mimic the camouflage capabilities of octopi.
- How scientists solved a problem with silver nanoparticles.
- Air filters, such as those found in air-conditioning units, can use silver to destroy germs before they enter a car or building.
- The first silver circuit pen is now available to retail customers (watch a video here).
- Ralph Lauren is using silver in its sports clothing to follow the biometrics of athletes.
- A new line of men’s boxer briefs are woven with silver to protect reproductive organs from mobil phone radiation.
