Turing patterns are striking examples of self-organised structures arising in reaction–diffusion systems, where the interplay of chemical reactions and diffusion processes gives rise to spatial ...

The mechanism behind leopard spots and zebra stripes also appears to explain the patterned growth of a bismuth crystal, extending Alan Turing’s 1952 idea to the atomic scale.

The present article describes a beautiful contribution of Alan Turing to our understanding of how animal coat patterns form. The question that Turing posed was the following. A collection of identical ...

According to a recent study in Scientific Reports, Turing patterns can be used to develop a new method for designing and producing fabric-based soft pneumatic actuators (FSPAs).

Research published in EPJ B revisits the Turing instability mechanism; proving mathematically how the instabilities which give rise to patterns can occur through simple reactions, and in widely ...

New experiments confirm that complex patterns in plants emerge from a model proposed by mathematician Alan Turing.

A team of researchers have expanded Alan Turing's seminal theory on how patterns are created in biological systems. This work may answer whether nature's patterns are governed by Turing ...

A team of researchers at EMBL have expanded Alan Turing's seminal theory on how patterns are created in biological systems. This work, which was partly done at the Centre for Genomic Regulation ...
