With regard to my previous blog on a One-bit processor and a mega-cool Turing machine, I’ve been bouncing around the Internet discovering all sorts of cool things… But before we hurl ourselves ...

Turing machines were first proposed by British mathematician Alan Turing in 1936, and are a theoretical mathematical model of what it means for a system to "be a computer." At a high level, these ...

Stephen Fry asked the man who ought to know: is the Apple logo a nod to Alan Turing? “It isn't true”, answered Steve Jobs, “but God we wish it were!” Fry's question captures some of the mystery ...

Vice reports that scientists have created the first known “chemical Turing machine,” meaning a liquid that can do the calculations that define a classic computer science standard. Juan Pérez-Mercader ...

Turing machines are widely believed to be universal, in the sense that any computation done by any system can also be done by a Turing machine. In a new article, researchers present their work ...

In computer science and blockchain technology, the term “Turing completeness” describes a system’s ability to carry out any computation that a Turing machine is capable of. A Turing machine is a ...

As a practising computer scientist, I thought I had a fairly good grasp of Alan Turing’s many contributions to the field. But The Turing Guide, by Jack Copeland, Jonathan Bowen, Mark Sprevak and Robin ...
