Why imperfection could be key to Turing patterns in nature
Many Turing mechanism models yield too-perfect patterns; varying cell sizes vastly improves the results.
 ![](https://m.stacker.news/114212) ![](https://m.stacker.news/114214) A zebra’s distinctive black-and-white stripes, or a leopard’s spots, are both examples of “Turing patterns,” after mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing, who proposed an intriguing hypothetical mechanism for how such complex, irregular patterns might emerge in nature. But Turing’s original proposal proved too simplified to fully re-create those natural patterns. Scientists at the University of Colorado at Boulder (UCB) have devised a new modeling approach that achieves much more accurate final patterns by introducing deliberate imperfections, according to a new paper published in the journal Matter. “Imperfections are everywhere in nature,” said Gupta. “We proposed a simple idea that can explain how cells assemble to create these variations. We are drawing inspiration from the imperfect beauty of [a] natural system and hope to harness these imperfections for new kinds of functionality in the future.” Possible future applications include “smart” camouflage fabrics that can change color to better blend with the surrounding environment, or more effective targeted drug delivery systems. ![A mixture of two types of pigment-producing cells undergoes diffusiophoretic transport to self-assemble into a hexagonal pattern.

Building on initial research, we analyzed our brand identity, audience, and reputation as well as other organizations in the technical ecosystem. Starting in 2019, these efforts have resulted in ongoing updates to our language, the redesign of our website which launched in 2023, and most recently in the launch of a new logo this month.
