Liesegang rings are a phenomenon observed in certain chemical and physical systems where periodic, banded patterns form as a result of the interplay between diffusion, reaction, and precipitation processes. Named after the German chemist Raphael Liesegang, who first studied these patterns in the early 20th century, Liesegang rings can occur in various contexts, including in gels and in certain types of colloidal systems.
