2 unusual facts about Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction


Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction

Alan Turing who mathematically predicted oscillating chemical reactions in the early 1950s

Hidden oscillation

Classical attractors in the well-known dynamical systems of Van der Pol, Beluosov–Zhabotinsky, Lorenz, Rössler, Chua and many others are self-excited attractors and can be obtained numerically, with relative ease, by standard computational procedures described above.


Belousov

The Ukrainian language name of the same derivation is Bilous in the non-patronymic form.

Bilous

Russian language names of the same derivation are Belous, Belousov (patronymic form)

Boris Belousov

Boris Pavlovich Belousov, (1893 – 1970), Soviet chemist/biophysicist who discovered the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction

Simon Shnoll

Study of chemical oscillating reactions conducted under his direction gained prominence to his graduate student Anatoly Zhabotinsky, who investigated in detail the reaction previously discovered by Boris Belousov.
