The study of pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems and convection dynamics has opened new avenues for understanding how complex spatial structures arise from relatively simple underlying ...

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 ...

Nature has no shortage of patterns, from spots on leopards to stripes on zebras and hexagons on boxfish. But a full explanation for how these patterns form has remained elusive. Now engineers at the ...

There are many purposes that spots and stripes serve in nature, but how they form has been more of a mystery to scientists. Now, researchers have advanced their breakthrough theory – and it could help ...

The formation of self-organizing molecular patterns in cells is a critical component of many biological processes. Researchers from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have proposed a new ...
