Alan Turing is credited as being the first to dream up the concept of a computer and how it might work. This was in the 1930s. His ideas form the basis of the machines that we rely upon today. He ...

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.

A small subset of these Turing machines are known as Universal Turing machines; they are capable of solving any computational problem known.

DeepMind has built a neural network that can access an external memory like a conventional Turing machine. The result is a computer that mimics the short-term memory of the human brain.

The Turing machines soon made a comeback, but Turing's image had become that of a pure mathematical logician, unrelated to practicality.

This machine can, in principle, solve any problem that is solvable by a computer and is known as a universal Turing machine, of which modern computers are an example.

The Imitation Game is a new film based on the life of legendary computer scientist Alan Turing, played here by Benedict Cumberbatch. Many are already familiar with the idea of a Turing machine, a ...

The connection between a Turing-complete machine and an algorithm pervades the computational complexity paradigm. Due to the Boolean/binary (0,1) nature of the electrical storage of memory, the ...
