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 ...

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 ...

Alex Smith, a 20-year-old British engineering student, has proved that a Turing machine proposed by complexity guru Stephen Wolfram is in fact the simplest possible computer capable of solving every ...

There’s something about geeky DIY projects that strike a nerve with the Internet. Case in point, the homebrew Turing Machine built by Mike Davey. He had no ulterior motive than to make something ...

[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 ...

Hardinge Inc. demonstrated automated production of hydraulic spool valve housings on its T51 MSY SP Super-Precision turning center. Hardinge Inc. is incorporating an automated machine-tending concept ...

The British mathematician and pioneer of computing Alan Turing published a paper in 1936 which described a Universal Machine, a theoretical model of a computer processor that would later become known ...
