Time and space are frequent topics of discussion for cosmologists, especially those studying exotic celestial bodies like ...

For several years, [Jim] has wanted to construct a fully-mechanical universal Turing machine. Without the help of any electronic circuits or electrical input, his goal was to build the machine ...

Data manipulation is at the heart of computation, and a system is said to be Turing-complete if it can be configured to manipulate data in a way that makes implementing arbitrary computation possible.

In March 1946 Turing produced a detailed design for what was called the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE.) This was a digital computer in the modern sense, storing programs in its memory.

Alan Turing, born nearly a century later in 1912, imagined an electrical machine that could store information, like a ‘memory’, which could therefore do more complicated work than other machines.

Nomura. Future research could look into integrating Turing pattern designs with cutting-edge materials like shape memory or ...

This achievement traces back to Turing's 1950 concept of the "imitation game," in which a machine would attempt to mimic a human in a remote conversation, deceiving a non-expert judge. The test ...
