The British mathematician and pioneer of computing Alan Turing published a paper in 1936 which described a Universal Machine, a theoretical model of a computer processor that would later become known ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Firefox 1.0 is released. The name is a reference to the Red Panda, a “cat-bear” native to the eastern Himalayas and southwestern China. It shipped to over a million downloads on the first day, 10 ...

On Saturday, British mathematician Alan Turing would have turned 100 years old. It is barely fathomable to think that none of the computing power surrounding us today was around when he was born. But ...
