A twenty-year-old university student has answered a challenge by one of the world's most well-known mathematicians. Alex Smith, a undergraduate electrical engineering student at the University of ...

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, ...

Saturday would have been the 100 th birthday of Alan Turing, the English mathematician widely regarded as the father of computer science. Among his many contributions to the world is the Turing ...

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 ...

It might be useless and kind of harsh looking, but this all-mechanical Turing machine is a great exercise in geekdom. With more than 15 years experience testing hardware (and being obsessed with it), ...

Vice reports that scientists have created the first known “chemical Turing machine,” meaning a liquid that can do the calculations that define a classic computer science standard. Juan Pérez-Mercader ...
