07 7th, 2008
Pierre Curie (1859-1906) is best known for his early work on radiation with his wife, Marie. He also played a pioneering role in the development of the quartz clock. While working with his brother Jacques they discovered the phenomenon of piezoelectricity in 1880. They discovered that certain quartz crystals produced electricity when put under pressure. They later determined that the reverse was also true; when electricity is applied to the crystal, it deforms and vibrates.
The vibrations of the quartz crystal provide a very reliable and accurate time keeper. The quartz crystal acts as an oscillator, replacing the balance wheel in modern timekeepers. It vibrates at a constant rate, measured in cycles per second (Hertz). Electric circuits counts the vibrations, and translates them into seconds, minutes, hours, dates and other time related data.
