A mathematical model of computation. Named after English scientist Alan Turing, a Turing machine is a finite state machine that reads a tape divided into cells. The Turing machine examines the symbol ...

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 ...

Today’s Google Doodle is a working Turing machine that contains six puzzles. Sophia Foster-Dimino, Jered Wierzbicki, Corrie Scalisi, and Marcin Wichary on Google’s Doodle team built the app in honor ...

[Credit: Jeroen van den Bosand, Davy Landman] How do you mark the birthday of Alan Turing, the “Father of Computers”? You could make a Google Doodle, or you could ...

One of the problems with a classic Turing machine is the tape must be infinitely long. [Mark’s] Turing Ring still doesn’t have an infinite tape, but it does make it circular to save space. That along ...

CNC Software’s MasterCAM Swiss Expert allows programmers greater freedom to access the variety of five-axis capabilities now available in Swiss turning machines. The development of CNC machines is ...
