Advances in nonequilibrium pattern formation in reaction–diffusion systems are reviewed. Special emphasis is placed on patterns found in the spatially extended Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction dispersed in aerosol OT water-in-oil microemulsions (BZ–AOT system): Turing patterns, packet and standing waves, antispirals and segmented spirals, and accelerating waves and oscillons. All experimental results are explained theoretically and reproduced in computer simulations.

The Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction in aerosol OT water-in-oil microemulsions exhibits various patterns, including Turing patterns, packet and standing waves, antispirals, and accelerating waves and oscillons.
