Alan Turing theorized a machine that could do infinite calculations from an infinite amount of data that computes based on a set of rules. It starts with an input, transforms the data and outputs an ...

"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 ...

Alan Turing, the 'Father of modern computing,' born on June 23, 1912, revolutionized technology with his Turing machine concept. His codebreaking during World War II significantly shortened the war.

Long ReadThe British mathematician, whose fate was both exceptional and tragic, is considered a founding figure for the idea of artificial intelligence. His story, long overlooked, continues to be ...

When he invented Turing machines in 1936, Alan Turing also invented modern computing. In 1928, the German mathematicians David Hilbert and Wilhelm Ackermann proposed a question called the ...

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, ...
