BZ as abbreviation
In this collection, examples of how the abbreviation "BZ" is used outside of the field of Nonlinear Dynamics.
If you have another interesting use of the abbreviation, please contact us or contribute an item.
Conferences
In this exhibit, we provide information and pictures about some conference series (more to come).
We still need some group pictures, participants list (related to the group pictures) and are looking for other 'behind the scene' pictures you might have. If you have item you would like to see here, please consider contributing it. If you have questions, comments or corrections, please contact us.
Scientists
Besides Boris P. Belousov and Anatol M. Zhabotinsky, there are many scientists who have made contributions to the understanding of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. In this exhibit, we have collected photos and short biographies of scientists who worked with the BZ Reaction.
We have decided to limit the scientists covered here to only those scientists who are no longer active in the field, and those who have chaired major conferences. If you have items you would like to see here, please consider contributing them, or if you have questions, comments, corrections or concerns, please contact us.
Cover Images
In this exhibit, we provide information and pictures about some cover images. We have a collection of book covers and a collection of journal covers.

Art and BZ
Science and art have always shared methods and tools. Much as photography invaded the fine arts a century ago, we today witness the evolution of fascinating computer art, a form of art which draws on the visualisation of quantitative scientific data. The easy transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, perspective images illustrates the invasion of computer technology, which readily permits what men have dreamed of since Kepler and Dürer. Today, we are surprised by the aesthetic content of visualized "cold" scientific experiments and mathematical models and theories, and we discover that we can project scientific information into the language of art. This provides an aestheticized, and this humanized, representation of most complex scientific phenomena, which leads us into a new world of imagination and creativity.
Publications
"Oxidation of an organic substrate by bromate in an acidic solution in the presence of a redox catalyst."
The Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction is a chemical process that can show temporal oscillatory behavior or spatio-temporal structures as propagating waves, using a `bromate' (e.g., sodium bromate), an acid (e.g., sulfuric acid), a one electron redox catalyst/indicator (e.g., ferroin), and an organic component (e.g., malonic acid).

The Archive of the BZ history project
In this section we are providing information about our BZ-history archive, devided into a 'Physical archive' for stored items and a 'Digital archive' for digitized, scanned items. Many items of the 'Physical archive' have been digitized at the College of Wooster and are also available in the 'Digital archive'.
Most digitized items are not downloadable directly but can be requested by science historians and other interested people.
This exhibition is currently under development and parts might not work properly.
