With precise oscillatory pattern much less perturbed by external stimuli, it can act as precise "timing" device without any internal electronics and piezoelectrics (only external laser pulses would be enough). The molecular machines with sustained fixed rotational speeds (e.g. molecular analogue of synchronous motor) can be made this way. If time crystal is made of quantum-entangled particles, the entanglement would be more robust and less prone to decoherence instead of external perturbations, using them as quantum level memory element- but rather the memory would be volatile-as continuous external energy has to be applied to keep the time-crystal tendency going. The pulse, if can be coupled with delocalized electron system of an organic molecule, can provide pulsating electronic excitation (which may be tailored by attenuation/amplification with certain functional groups). Samely, phase modulation of pulses can create a much robust and compact phased array, that is far more thermal oscillation insensitive and more importantly, can circumvent centrosymmetry constraints and requirement of enough molecules to construct a reasonable periodicity of a piezoelectric crystal. However, if pulsating device with a few molecules can be constructed, then this aspect of time crystals can be greatly diminished. Last but not the least, some very common biochemically relevant ionic compounds (e.g. Monoammonium phosphate) show time-crystal behaviour, such crystal surrounded in hydrophobic (inside) transparent micelle (possibly overall amphiphilic) in presence of a biological or external optoelectronic field can drastically alter standing waves-system in-vivo, possibly in an unexpected manner (note constructive and destructive interference are only half/quarter wavelengths apart). A nano-phased array of optical system can modify such response quite dramatically. (such time crystal can be designed to keep working on harnessing nonequilibrium biochemical environment as well)
