Alan Turing's 1952 paper on the origin of biological patterning 1 solved an intellectual problem that had seemed so hopeless that it caused a great developmental biologist, Hans Driesch, to give up ...

Extending Turing's theory to help understand how biological patterns are created. (Image: Xavier Diego, EMBL) Alan Turing sought to explain how patterns in nature arise with his 1952 theory on ...

British mathematician Alan Turing is perhaps best known for the Turing test, which determines if a computer can be considered intelligent based on whether it can pass for a human in conversation. But ...

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 ...

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 ...

In 1952, Alan Turing, a British mathematician best known for his work on code-breaking and artificial intelligence, was convicted of engaging in homosexual acts and sentenced to chemical castration.

Patterns on animal skin, such as zebra stripes and poison frog colour patches, serve various biological functions, including temperature regulation, camouflage and warning signals. The colours making ...
