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

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 bottom line is that a Turing machine is something that uses very, very simple rules to perform computations. As originally conceived, Turing machines are not physical objects but mathematical ones ...

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 ...

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.

It’s hard not to comment on the irony of a Turing machine being run by an Arduino, but given that [Mike]’s goal was to make abstract concepts easy to understand, it makes perfect sense to ...

Google is celebrating the 100th birthday of computer-science pioneer Alan Turing with a minigame based on one of his “thinking” machines.

As an example of this, consider a standard computer. Opening the calculator application on your desktop produces a simulation of the earlier Turing machine I described.

A professor of computer science explains why the original limitations of Turing Machines still govern the age of advanced AI like ChatGPT.
