A comprehensive review of spatiotemporal pattern formation in systems driven away from
equilibrium is presented, with emphasis on comparisons between theory and quantitative …

Excitable media are extended nonequilibrium systems having uniform rest states that are
linearly stable but susceptible to finite perturbations. Depending on the forms of these …

Just a few decades ago, chemical oscillations were thought to be exotic reactions of only
theoretical interest. Now known to govern an array of physical and biological processes …

We report the experimental observation of a sustained standing nonequilibrium chemical
pattern in a single-phase open reactor. Considering the properties of the pattern (symmetry …

CHEMICAL travelling waves have been studied experimentally for more than two decades1–
5, but the stationary patterns predicted by Turing6 in 1952 were observed only recently7–9 …

We review experimental and theoretical studies on the design and control of spatiotemporal
behavior in chemical systems. A wide range of approaches have been pursued to control …

Experiments on a bistable chemical reaction in a continuously fed thin gel layer reveal a
new type of spatiotemporal pattern, one in which fronts propagate at a constant speed until …

Alan Turing, in “The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis”[Turing AM (1952) Philos Trans R
Soc Lond 237 (641): 37–72], described how, in circular arrays of identical biological cells …

Two-dimensional reaction-diffusion equations with simple reaction kinetics are used to study
the dynamics of spiral waves in excitable media. Detailed numerical results are presented …

We describe experimental observations of symmetry breaking stationary patterns. These
patterns are interpreted as the first unambiguous evidence of Turing-type structures in a …
