The pattern-matching syntax introduced in Python 3.10 allows for powerful new programming techniques for decision-making in apps.

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.

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

Chris Konow researches the impact of growth on Turing patterns in the Epstein Lab. Turing patterns are named after the British mathematician Alan Turing, who proposed a mechanism for how ...

New research revisits the Turing instability mechanism; proving mathematically how the instabilities which give rise to patterns can occur through simple reactions, and in widely varied ...

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 ...

Scientists have shown how a new class of Turing patterns work by using synthetic biology to create them from scratch in the lab.

Weird circles keep popping up around the world, but Alan Turing predicted them in 1952. Here's what they mean—and how the legendary scientist got them so right.
