- Turing showed how chemical reactions can create patterns. If you mix the ingredients he specified, they can separate into quasi-ordered patches of different composition.

Turing proposed that an embryo becomes patterned into regions with different anatomical fates by chemical substances called morphogens (literally ‘shape-formers’), which diffuse through ...
Nov 8, 2021 · Nearly seventy years ago Alan Turing, a pioneer of Computer Science, developed a theory to explain how certain patterns in nature could arise spontaneously from simple chemical systems. This idea was a significant departure from much of his previous work on the theory of computation, and used very different kinds of mathematics.
Scientists have long been intrigued by a mechanism first predicted by Alan Turing that leads to self-organizing chemical patterns. Now they have a guide to creating them experimentally.

It describes how patterns in nature, such as stripes and spirals, can arise naturally from a homogeneous, uniform state. The theory, which can be called a reaction–diffusion theory of morphogenesis, has become a basic model in theoretical biology. [2] Such patterns have come to be known as Turing patterns.
Oct 5, 2021 · Biophysical modeling of development started with Alan Turing. His two-morphogen reaction-diffusion model was a radical but powerful simplification. Despite its apparent limitations, the model captured real developmental processes that only recently have been validated at the molecular level in many systems.

Turing in an effort to provide a chemical basis for biological structures and patterns such as those on animal coats. Turing's work has had considerable influence on theoretical developments in pattern formation. His mechanism has been utilized to describe pattern formation in semiconductor physics [5,
Nov 8, 2021 · Chemistry in particular has made significant contributions to the study of Turing-type morphogenesis, providing multiple reproducible experimental methods to both predict and study new behaviours and dynamics generated in reaction–diffusion systems.
