Ordering and self-organization are critical in determining the dynamics of reaction-diffusion systems. Here we show a unique pattern formation mechanism, dictated by the coupling of thermodynamic instability and kinetic anisotropy. Intrinsically different from the physical origin of Turing instability and patterning, the ordered patterns we obtained are caused by the interplay of the instability from uphill diffusion, the symmetry breaking from anisotropic diffusion, and the reactions.
