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 environmental ...

A new study has brought science one step closer to a molecular-level understanding of how patterns form in living tissue. The researchers engineered bacteria that, when incubated and grown, exhibited ...

Self-organized structures can spontaneously emerge from a complex sea of microscopic, interacting constituents. This is a widespread observation in nature, now accepted as a paradigmatic concept in ...
