More than 70 years ago, mathematician Alan Turing proposed a mechanism that explained how patterns could emerge from bland uniformity. Scientists are still using his model—and adding new twists—to ...

Nature is full of many patterned animals, from the stripes on zebras, spots on leopards, to the intricate details on sea creatures. Researchers have studied for a long time the biological explanation ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have refined Alan Turing’s 1950s theory on animal pattern formation, revealing a mechanism that explains the irregularity of leopard spots. The study, ...

American researchers have updated Alan Turing’s 1952 theory on how animal patterns form, successfully replicating the natural imperfections seen in features like leopard spots. By adding cell size and ...

In our newly published research in Science Advances, my student Ben Alessio and I propose a potential mechanism explaining how these distinctive patterns form—that could potentially be applied to ...

A simple, decades-old mathematical model developed by Alan Turing can predict how subtle colour patterns will develop in a lizard’s scaly skin. Over seventy years ago, the computer scientist Alan ...

Patterns of chemical interactions are thought to create patterns in nature such as stripes and spots. This new study shows that the mathematical basis of these patterns also governs how sperm tail ...

Many have heard of Alan Turing, the mathematician and logician who invented modern computing in 1935. They know that Turing, the cryptologist who cracked the Nazi Enigma code, helped win World War II.

Alan Turing might be best known for his work helping to crack Germany’s “Enigma” communications code during the second world war. But he also came up with a theory where patterns can form just through ...
