Their work provides "a new conceptual framework to create Turing-like patterns in microbial communities, and the relevance of this study goes far beyond this specific implementation," said Solé.

Granted, the Turing model has shortcomings. A Turing mechanism alone cannot account for scaling in nature’s patterns. Chicken eggs are a good example of scaling, in that they can be large, small or ...

But proving that Turing’s model explains patterns in the real world has been challenging (SN: 10/21/15).It wasn’t clear whether Turing’s idea is really behind natural distributions of ...

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.

The chemicals would interact while other agents would inhibit their activity, resulting in pattern formation. But Turing’s theory didn’t explain how the patterns would remain so defined in a ...

Today, I'm speaking with Chris Konow. He is a second year PhD student in chemistry, and he's working in Irv Epstein's lab on Turing patterns. Welcome to the podcast, Chris. Chris: Thank you, Simon. It ...

In this new study, a team from the University of Bristol in England used Turing patterns as a way to look at the movement of sperm’s flagella and vibrating hair-like cells called cilia.

In 1952, Alan Turing published a study which described mathematically how systems composed of many living organisms can form rich and diverse arrays of orderly patterns. He proposed that this ...
