In 1952, the legendary British mathematician and cryptographer Alan Turing proposed a model, which assumes formation of complex patterns through chemical interaction of two diffusing reagents. Scientists managed to prove that the corneal surface nanopatterns in 23 insect orders completely fit into this model.
