    The Mathematics Behind Nature’s Masterpieces: How Animals Get Their Stunning Patterns

    A leopard’s rosettes aren’t random art—they’re mathematical masterpieces encoded in biology. Discover how Alan Turing’s groundbreaking theory predicted animal patterns decades before scientists understood the mechanisms. New research reveals that zebra stripes, leopard spots, and tropical fish patterns all form through diffusiophoresis—the same process that helps soap remove dirt. Learn why every stripe serves as…
