  2. Chemical clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_clock

    In an iodine clock reaction, colour changes after a time delay. A chemical clock (or clock reaction) is a complex mixture of reacting chemical compounds in which the onset of an observable property (discoloration or coloration) occurs after a predictable induction time due to the presence of clock species at a detectable amount. [1]

  3. Structural analog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_analog

    A structural analog, also known as a chemical analog or simply an analog, is a compound having a structure similar to that of another compound, but differing from it in respect to a certain component. [1] [2] [3] It can differ in one or more atoms, functional groups, or substructures, which are replaced with other atoms, groups, or ...

  4. Atomic clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_clock

    Atomic clocks have the benefit that atoms are universal, which means that the oscillation frequency is also universal. This is different from quartz and mechanical time measurement devices that do not have a universal frequency. A clock's quality can be specified by two parameters: accuracy and stability.

  5. Iodine clock reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine_clock_reaction

    The iodine clock reaction is a classical chemical clock demonstration experiment to display chemical kinetics in action; it was discovered by Hans Heinrich Landolt in 1886. [1] The iodine clock reaction exists in several variations, which each involve iodine species (iodide ion, free iodine, or iodate ion) and redox reagents in the presence of ...

  6. Radical clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_clock

    In chemistry, a radical clock is a chemical compound that assists in the indirect methodology to determine the kinetics of a free-radical reaction. The radical-clock compound itself reacts at a known rate, which provides a calibration for determining the rate of another reaction.

  7. Time crystal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_crystal

    A time crystal can be informally defined as a time-periodic self-organizing structure. While an ordinary crystal is periodic (has a repeating structure) in space, a time crystal has a repeating structure in time. A time crystal is periodic in time in the same sense that the pendulum in a pendulum-driven clock is periodic in time.

  8. Quartz clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock

    The Lavet-type stepping motors used in analog quartz clock movements which themselves are driven by a magnetic field (generated by the coil) can be affected by external (nearby) magnetism sources, and this may impact the rotor sprocket output. As a result, the mechanical output of analog quartz clock movements may temporarily stop, advance or ...

  9. Clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock

    An analog pendulum clock made around 18th century. A clock or chronometer is a device that measures and displays time.The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units such as the day, the lunar month, and the year.
