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, ...

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 ...

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3keLeMwfHY&hl=en_US&fs=1&] We pay lots of lip service to Turing but has anyone actually seen or thought about what Turing did ...

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 ...

In honor of Alan Turing's hundredth birthday, Davy Landman, Jereon van den Bos, and Paul Klint built a Turing Machine out of LEGOs. And if you like, you can build one too. You can buy the LEGOS on the ...

Parallel computing has become a bedrock in the HPC field, where applications are becoming increasingly complex and such compute-intensive technologies as data analytics, deep learning and artificial ...

David Craven does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

A computer science professor from Sweden has discovered an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the Universal Turing Machine, one of the earliest computer designs in history. Pontus Johnson, a ...

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 ...

Such is Turing's legacy: that of a nested chain of pretenses, each pointing not to reality, but to the caricature of another idea, device, individual, or concept. It's hard to overestimate Alan Turing ...
