Multiple-peak traveling waves of the Gray-Scott model
We study a reaction-diffusion system which models the pre-mixed isothermal autocatalytic chemical reaction of order m (m > 1) between two chemical species, a reactant A and an auto-catalyst B, A + m B --> (m+1) B, and a linear decay B -->C, where C ...

AbstractSelf‐replication is a fundamental concept. The idea of an entity that can repeatedly create more of itself has captured the imagination of many thinkers from von Neumann to Vonnegut. Beyond the sciences and science fiction, autocatalysis has found currency in economics and language theory, and has raised ethical fears memorably summed up by the

Modelling Bacteria-Inspired Dynamics with Networks of Interacting Chemicals
One approach to understanding how life-like properties emerge involves building synthetic cellular systems that mimic certain dynamical features of living cells such as bacteria.

Anion–π catalysis on carbon allotropes
Anion–π catalysis, introduced in 2013, stands for the stabilization of anionic transition states on π-acidic aromatic surfaces. Anion–π catalysis on carbon allotropes is particularly attractive because high polarizability promises access to really strong

This study examined the effect of ingredients mixing sequence to the vulcanization kinetics of natural rubber. The effects of mixing temperature, vulcanization temperature, and the carbon black type upon the kinetics were also studied by using rheography

How did chemicals first become organized into systems capable of self-propagation and adaptive evolution? One possibility is that the first evolvers were chemical ecosystems localized on mineral surfaces and composed of sets of molecular species that ...
