Alan Turing’s Patterns in Nature, and Beyond | WIRED

 '' Turing patterns can involve not just chemicals, but large, complex systems in which each unit — for example, a cell — is distributed like molecules of pigment. ...A basic step towards proving the existence of these three-dimensional Turing patterns is demonstrating a three-dimensional pattern in the lab. In a paper published Feb. 11 in Science, researchers led by Brandeis University chemist Irving Epstein do precisely this.'' [source]
