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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of the things we love best about the articles we publish on Hackaday is the dynamic that can develop between the hacker and the readers. At its best, the comment section of an article can be a ...
