The quest to find the cost of running a Turing machine began with Wolpert trying to use information theory -- the quantification, storage, and communication of information -- to formalize how ...

How Alan Turing found machine thinking in the human mind Turing's youthful bid for fame proved a great mathematician wrong – and accidentally created the modern computer By Jonathon Keats 29 ...

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.

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 paper, researchers present their work ...
