Popis: The Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction has long been a paradigmatic system for studying chemical oscillations. Here, we experimentally studied the synchronization control within photochemically coupled star networks of BZ oscillators. Experiments were carried out in wells performed in soda-lime glass constructed using novel laser technologies. Utilizing the inherent oscillatory nature of the BZ reaction, we engineered a star network of oscillators interconnected through photochemical inhibitory coupling. Furthermore, the experimental setup presented here could be extrapolated to more complex network architectures with both excitatory and inhibitory couplings, contributing to the fundamental understanding of synchronization in complex systems.
