Title

C8 - The Belousov-Zhabotinskii cone

Description

The cone depicted in this image shows a spiral core, which can be generated from the same data used for chemical gradients observed in such patterns, as they move through the solution in a the production of image C6. By reflection with respect to the plane of the concentration
maxima, this core is transformed into a “monument,” rising on a pedestal formed of spirals.
