Turing’s Cathedral by George Dyson follows Hungarian mathematician John von Neumann’s efforts to build a computer based on Turing’s design and boasting a revolutionary feature: RAM.

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

A Turing machine is an extremely simple device, but is still able to compute everything your desktop can. The machine is generally described as an infinite paper tape with a read/write head.

The “Turing” machine was described by Alan Turing in 1936, who called it an “a (utomatic)-machine”. The Turing machine is not intended as a practical computing technology, but rather as a hypothetical ...

A Turing Machine is a theoretical computing device equipped with an infinitely long memory tape which stores symbols and a device called a read/write head which can read and write, or modify ...

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 ...

We pay lots of lip service to Turing but has anyone actually seen or thought about what Turing did for computing? Aside from the Turing Test, Alan Turing invented his Machine, a "tape-based ...

Turing machines are something I'd heard of before, but had no idea what they actually were. Your explination was a little confusing to me, but I found a somewhat simpler explination here, along ...

Alan Turing wartime manuscript, Enigma machine up for auction "The Imitation Game" helped make World War II code breaker Alan Turing a household name. But for all the attention he has gotten for ...
