Quartz Crystals: The Heartbeat of Our Digital World
When you hear the word "crystals," you might think of mystical healing properties or New Age shops. But crystals are far more than just decorative or spiritual objects. In fact, they play a crucial role in many of the technologies we use every day and are even found in our own bodies. Let's explore the fascinating world of crystals and their practical applications.
Crystals: More Than Mystical - They're Technological Marvels
One of the most important crystals in modern technology is quartz, the same material that ARK Crystals are synthesized from. High-purity quartz crystals are essential components in many electronic devices, serving as the "heartbeat" that keeps everything running smoothly.
Here's how quartz crystals work in our devices:
-
Piezoelectric effect: Quartz crystals generate an electric charge when mechanical stress is applied, and vice versa. Also read our blog: "ARK Crystals interact with light, birefringence and Polarization".
-
Precise oscillation: When an electric current is applied, quartz crystals vibrate at a very specific and stable frequency.
-
Timing control: This stable frequency is used to keep time in devices like watches, computers, and smartphones.
Advanced Resonance Kinetics (ARK) technology utilizes many of these functions of quartz in the activation and continuous energetic oscillatory resonance of the ARK Crystal.
Because of the precision that comes with the unique state of matter called "crystalline", and specifically the unique properties of quartz, the crystals are used in various electronic components, including:
-
Oscillators
-
Frequency control products
-
GPS systems
-
Telecommunications equipment
-
Computer CPUs
Quartz crystals serve as the core component in frequency control products due to their ability to produce stable, reliable vibrations. They are the heart of most oscillators, the ticking mechanisms that gives many digital devices their tempo. In computers, the clock of the central processing unit (CPU), is locked to a quartz crystal oscillator and ticks billions of times per second to coordinate the computer's operations. This clock ensures instructions are executed in the correct order and at the right time, allowing the computer to function correctly.
Consider this, because quartz crystals have such a highly precise oscillatory frequency they actually form the heart of the atomic clock. Atomic clocks combine a quartz crystal oscillator with an ensemble of atoms; and the oscillations of the atoms are used to periodically update the quartz oscillator. So, at the core of one of humanity's most precise technological devices is a crystal!
From keeping time to enabling global communications and navigation, high-quality quartz crystals are central to the operation of our modern electronic world. It is interesting that crystals are not commonly recognized as part of the infrastructure of our modern advanced society, because most envisage crystal technology as belonging to a long lost ancient civilization like Atlantis, but actually we rely on crystals for our modern civilization!
Magnetite: The Crystal in Our Brains
Believe it or not, crystals aren't just found in our technology - they're also present in our bodies. Magnetite, a magnetic iron oxide, has been discovered in the human brain.
Key facts about magnetite in the brain:
-
The human brain contains about 5 million nanocrystals of magnetite per gram of tissue.
-
These crystals are typically 10-70 nanometers in size.
-
The structure of these crystals is similar to those produced by magnetotactic bacteria.
While the exact function of magnetite in the brain is still being studied, some researchers suggest it might play a role in:
-
Memory storage
-
Protection against electromagnetic radiation
-
Circadian rhythm regulation
The Practical Side of Crystals
As we can see, crystals are far from being just mystical objects. They have real, practical applications in both technology and biology. From keeping our devices running on time to potentially playing a role in our brain function, crystals are an integral part of our world.
So the next time someone mentions crystals, remember: while they may have spiritual significance for some, their true power lies in their scientific properties and technological applications. These natural wonders continue to shape our modern world in ways we're only beginning to understand.
The ARK Crystal is just such a technological application. The ARK Crystal is a technological device that is the first of its kind; harnessing the remarkable precision oscillation and piezoelectric effects of high-purity quartz in the meticulously engineered dimensionality of the ARK geometry to couple with the quantum vacuum energy density and induce coherent modes that continuously exchange energy with the ARK Crystal via quantum resonance. This is the science of ARK Crystals, and this is the science that will bring new remarkable technologies to our world.
