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

The findings suggest that this version of Turing’s pattern-formation mechanism might crop up in more systems than scientists have typically considered. The bismuth stripes contrast with other Turing ...

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 ...

Chia Seeds Confirm Alan Turing’s Predictions On Patterns In Nature This is the first time that Turing Patterns in vegetation have been validated in such a way.

Alan Turing, a renowned mathematician who invented modern computing, proposed more than 70 years ago that animals got their patterns through the production of chemical agents that would diffuse ...

March 22, 2019 Simon Goodacre | Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Chris Konow researches the impact of growth on Turing patterns in the Epstein Lab. Turing patterns are named after the British ...

Alan Turing sought to explain how patterns in nature arise with his 1952 theory on morphogenesis. The stripes of a zebra, the arrangement of fingers and the radial whorls in the head of a ...

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.
