New Design Method Leading to Chemical Turing Patterns by István Szalai and his coworkers
Chemical reaction-diffusion systems have been intensively studied during the past decades, especially because of their potential relevance in the understanding of biological rhythms and patterns. The existence of stationary reaction-diffusion patterns have been prediceted by Alain Turing in 1952. So far, this phenomenon have been observed only in two different single phase chemical systems. In a recent report published in Science, French and Hungarian researchers presented an experimental design method to search for Turing patterns in new chemical systems. This work is the result of a cooperation between the Institute of Chemistry (Szalai István) and the Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal/CNRS (Judit Horvath, Patrick De Kepper).
