Turing machines are widely believed to be universal, in the sense that any computation done by any system can also be done by a Turing machine. In a new article, researchers present their work ...

Somewhere at the edge of mathematics lurks a number so large that it breaks the very foundations of our understanding - and ...

On Christmas Eve, December 24, 2013, Queen Elizabeth II issued a royal pardon to British mathematician Alan Turing. Turing is best known for his development of the Bombe, a machine that successfully ...

Author's rendition of a basic Turing test set-up. Sitting in between two agents (one human and one machine), a person needs to interact with both agents and determine (correctly) which is a machine.

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 ...
