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 ...

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 ...

We are at a critical time and supporting science journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen scientific ...

CNET gets a deeper look at the hidden notebook from the "father of modern computing," before it goes up for auction. Donna Tam covers Amazon and other fun stuff for CNET News. She is a San Francisco ...

Alan Turing’s work laid the foundation for modern artificial intelligence, particularly through his concept of the Turing Test, which evaluates a machine’s ability to exhibit human-like behaviour.

Mathematician Alan Turing invented an imaginary computer known as the Turing Machine; in an age before computers, he explored the concept of what it meant to be computable, creating the field of ...
