According to a recent study in Scientific Reports, Turing patterns can be used to develop a new method for designing and producing fabric-based soft pneumatic actuators (FSPAs).

A primordial developmental toolkit shared by all vertebrates, and described by a theory of the mathematician Alan Turing, sets the growth pattern for all types of skin structures.

The wavy undulations of a sperm’s tail make striped patterns in space-time, which potentially follow patterns proposed by Alan Turing.

Certain animal species, such as the ornate boxfish, have detailed markings. How do these intricate patterns materialize? A team of engineers may have an answer.

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

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 ...

The engineers ran a series of computer simulations using equations to mimic the purple pattern on boxfish skin, one with their hypothesis and one with Mr Turing’s theory.

Sometimes when they form, it produces space between spots. Turing hypothesized that an animal's pattern was not formed by complex genetics, rather, they formed through diffusion reactions.
