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 ...

First proposed by Turing in 1952, the eponymous Turing instability and Turing pattern remain key tools for the modern study of diffusion-driven pattern formation. In spatially homogeneous Turing ...

Observing nature shows that many temporal and spatial structures are not formed by the outside, but rather by the respective system itself. To study these self-organizing processes is the subject of ...

Nature creates incredible works of living art through its many different animal patterns, such as a leopard’s spots or a ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We propose a reaction-diffusion model of spatial pattern formation whose solutions can exhibit scale-invariance over any desired range for ...

HOW the leopard got his spots is, famously, the subject of one of Rudyard Kipling's “Just So Stories”. Kipling suggested they were handprints made by the leopard's human friend. More plausibly, he had ...

On a March day in 2023, Ben Alessio, then a research assistant at CU Boulder, was wandering around the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, California, when he clocked a surprising sight: a male ornate boxfish ...

From leopards to zebras, science explain how nature’s chemical dances create spots, stripes and swirls across animal skins ...
