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 ...

On Saturday, British mathematician Alan Turing would have turned 100 years old. It is barely fathomable to think that none of the computing power surrounding us today was around when he was born. But ...

As a practising computer scientist, I thought I had a fairly good grasp of Alan Turing’s many contributions to the field. But The Turing Guide, by Jack Copeland, Jonathan Bowen, Mark Sprevak and Robin ...

With regard to my previous blog on a One-bit processor and a mega-cool Turing machine, I’ve been bouncing around the Internet discovering all sorts of cool things… But before we hurl ourselves ...

Mathematician Alan Turing invented an imaginary computer known as the Turing Machine; in an age before computers, he explored the concept of what it meant to be computable, creating the field of ...

Alan Turing’s work occurred more than 65 years ago — give the guy a break — he couldn't foresee all the advances that are shaping life in 2019. Alan Turing is considered the father of artificial ...

Actor Lee Sang-yoon has been cast in the play "Turing Machine." Lee Sang-yoon has been chosen to play Alan Turing in the play "Turing Machine," which opens Jan. 8, 2026, at the Sejong Center for the ...

[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 ...

This year marks 70 years since Alan Turing published his paper introducing the concept of the Turing Test in response to the question, “Can machines think?” The test’s goal was to determine if a ...

CNET gets a deeper look at the hidden notebook from the "father of modern computing," before it goes up for auction. Donna Tam covers Amazon and other fun stuff for CNET News. She is a San Francisco ...
