It flickers, revealing bent steel railings and lumps of crystalline quartz.

它闪烁着，揭示出弯曲钢制栏杆和块状石英。

I have scented candles, I have a rose quartz crystal, I have a Lego peacock that my children bought me because one of my book covers has a peacock on the front.

我有香薰蜡烛， 我有玫瑰石英，我还有一只乐高孔雀， 是我孩子们送给我， 因为我一本书封面上有一只孔雀。

The mechanisms by which time is measured, such as the swing of a pendulum, the vibration of a quartz crystal, or the behavior of an atom, are physical phenomena obeying universal laws.

用测量时间方法，如钟摆摆动、石英振动或原子行为，都是遵循普遍规律物理现象。

Inside this metal cylinder is a quartz crystal tuning fork with wires printed onto the side which travel along the legs to the outside of the metal canister.

在这个金属圆筒内有一个石英音叉，侧面印有导线，这些导线沿着音叉腿延伸到金属罐外部。

And if we look at crystalline structure, like that in this crystalline quartz, it's going to be the same atoms you can see.

如果我们观察结构, 就像这种石英中结构一样, 它将是您能看到相同原子。

When some early Homo sapiens let their tools get toasty, they reset the electron content of the quartz crystals.

当一些早期智人工具变得很热时，他们重置了石英中电子含量。

Scott finishes up by saying quartz crystal will naturally have a variable resonant frequency depending on its size though.

斯科特最后说，石英共振频率会根据其大小自然发生变化。

When quartz crystals are hooked up to special electric circuits, they vibrate 32,768 times every second.

当石英连接到特殊电路时，它们每秒会振动 32,768 次。

However, since we want to get, for example, a 2.4 GHz signal, which is 150 times that of the 16 MHz crystal oscillator, We add a frequency divider into the feedback loop.

然而， 由我们想要得到例如2.4GHz信号，这是16MHz石英振荡器150倍，我们在反馈回路中加入了一个分频器。

Inside, he was greeted by a sight straight out of a fairytale - quartz crystals sparkled like stars, and marble formations were like the work of divine sculptors.

在里面，迎接他是童话般景象——石英像星星一样闪闪发光，大理石结构就像神圣雕塑家作品。

Cesium atoms oscillate at microwave frequencies, and are usually paired with a vibrating quartz crystal to keep time.

铯原子在微波频率下振荡，通常与振动石英配对以计时。

When Pierre was twenty-one, he and his brother had discovered that quartz crystals could hold an electrical charge.

当 Pierre 21 岁时，他和他兄弟发现石英可以保持电荷。

Finally, this frequency is fed back into the frequency and phase comparator, and as it is, the feedback loop will drive the ring oscillator to match and be identical to the output from the 16 MHz crystal oscillator loop.

最后， 这个频率被反馈到频率和相位比较器中，这样反馈回路会驱动环形振荡器， 使其与16MHz石英振荡器回路输出匹配并完全相同。
