Cameron Jones, a postdoctoral student at UC San Diego and one of the co-authors of the new paper, explains that Turing ...

The Busy Beaver Challenge, a notoriously difficult question in theoretical computer science, is now producing answers so ...

A proof made public today illustrates that Stephen Wolfram's 2,3 Turing machine number 596440 is a universal Turing machine, and it has netted a University of Birmingham undergraduate $25,000. In 1936 ...

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 ...

IN 1935, Alan Turing set out to build a reputation by outflanking the world’s leading mathematician. Turing was 22 years old, and a new fellow at Cambridge. His target, David Hilbert, was the ...

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 ...

A working Turing Machine was submitted to Lego Ideas, consisting of approximately 2,900 parts and a bucketload of extreme cleverness.… The original machine was devised by mathematician Alan Turing in ...

Alex Smith, a 20-year-old British engineering student, has proved that a Turing machine proposed by complexity guru Stephen Wolfram is in fact the simplest possible computer capable of solving every ...

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 ...
