A mathematical model of computation. Named after English scientist Alan Turing, a Turing machine is a finite state machine that reads a tape divided into cells. The Turing machine examines the symbol ...

"The Imitation Game" helped make World War II code breaker Alan Turing a household name. But for all the attention he has gotten for breaking Nazi Germany's Enigma code, the British mathematician ...

Two researchers in the Netherlands helmed the construction of a LEGO Turing machine, a quirky manifestation of the classic computer science concept first devised by Alan Turing in 1936. The device, ...

New Delhi: Google is celebrating mathematician Alan Turing's 100th birthday with a Turing Machine as a Google doodle. That's the latest in the list of honours for a man who was a World War II ...

Alan Turing's 100th birthday has passed. But you can celebrate it forever. This past week, Google open sourced the code for the animated Turing Machine logic puzzle it posted to its homepage in ...

Mathematician Alan Turing's theoretical basis for all modern computers known as the 'universal machine' has been voted the greatest British innovation of the past century in a new poll. The famous ...

There’s something about geeky DIY projects that strike a nerve with the Internet. Case in point, the homebrew Turing Machine built by Mike Davey. He had no ulterior motive than to make something ...

It might be useless and kind of harsh looking, but this all-mechanical Turing machine is a great exercise in geekdom. With more than 15 years experience testing hardware (and being obsessed with it), ...

This year marks 70 years since Alan Turing published his paper introducing the concept of the Turing Test in response to the question, “Can machines think?” The test’s goal was to determine if a ...

The British mathematician and pioneer of computing Alan Turing published a paper in 1936 which described a Universal Machine, a theoretical model of a computer processor that would later become known ...
