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 ...

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 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 ...

Scientists prove Turing patterns, usually studied in living organisms and chemical systems, also manifest at the nanoscale in monoatomic bismuth layers One of the things the human brain naturally ...

More than 70 years ago, mathematician Alan Turing proposed a mechanism that explained how patterns could emerge from bland uniformity. Scientists are still using his model—and adding new twists ...

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

They discovered that the dynamics of biocrusts in drylands are regulated by spatial and temporal scale-dependent feedbacks, ultimately leading to the formation of self-organized Turing patterns.

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.

From spotty leopards to stripy zebras, nature has no shortage of distinct patterns on animals and plants. Now, the age-old question of how these patterns developed may have finally been solved.
