The study of pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems and convection dynamics has opened new avenues for understanding how complex spatial structures arise from relatively simple underlying ...

Nature has no shortage of patterns, from spots on leopards to stripes on zebras and hexagons on boxfish. But a full explanation for how these patterns form has remained elusive. Now engineers at CU ...

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 ...
