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 ...

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

Just like adaptive skin patterns in animals, when Turing patterns change—say from hexagons to stripes—this indicates underlying differences in chemical concentrations inside or outside the body.

For the first time, scientists using chia seed experiments have confirmed that Alan Turing's mathematical model can explain patterns seen in nature.

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).
