| Abstract | |
Spontaneous pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems was theoretically proposed by Alan M. Turing in 1952. His breakthrough conceptions of chemical self-organization were able to explain how patterns emerge in nature and the symmetry breaking, which are of utmost importance, for instance, in the context of origin of life. Along with the experimental observations in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction and the development of the nonequilibrium thermodynamics by Prigogine and co-workers, Turing predictions are considered the foundation of the field of Nonlinear Chemical Dynamics. This review aims to describe the basis of Turing structures with their consequent scientific achievements and to provide future directions in the development of this field. (AU) | |
