Synchronization of Chemical Micro-oscillators
Abstract
Many phenomena of biological, physical, and chemical importance involve synchronization of oscillatory elements. We explore here, in several geometries, the behavior of diffusively coupled, nanoliter volume, aqueous drops separated by oil gaps and containing the reactants of the oscillatory Belousov−Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. A variety of synchronous regimes are found, including in- and antiphase oscillations, stationary Turing patterns, and more complex combinations of stationary and oscillatory BZ drops, including three-phase patterns. A model consisting of ordinary differential equations based on a simplified description of the BZ chemistry and diffusion of messenger (primarily inhibitory) species qualitatively reproduces most of the experimental results.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
