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 ...

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 follows mathematical rules and creates repeating patterns across completely different organisms and environments.

Ever wondered how leopards wear perfect dots or zebra's stripes? Scientists now know that patterns are not random at all. They are guided by nature’s chemistry, mathematics and tiny skin cells. These ...

Animal stripes and spots might look decorative, but they’re the result of deeply complex biological processes that begin long ...
