We’ve found the first five Busy Beaver numbers, but the sixth may be bigger than the number of atoms in the universe.

Some numbers are so unimaginably large that they defy the bounds of modern mathematics, and now mathematicians are closing in ...

A Turing Machine can emulate any other computing machine, but requires the resources to do so, and without knowing what those resources are, ...

leading to the theoretical concept of the Turing machine—a foundational idea for every digital device we use today. Beyond his academic prowess, his clandestine work during World War II at Bletchley ...

Turing’s machines have long been used to probe such questions. Their origins lie in a series of philosophical revelations that rocked the mathematical world in the 1930s.

To distill the essence of the halting problem into a simpler form, Radó imagined sorting Turing machines into groups based on how many rules they had — one group for all one-rule Turing machines, ...

A trove of forgotten papers penned by famed World War II codebreaker Alan Turing has sold for the record-setting price of ...

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 ...

The Turing machine is the template all computers today are based on. To accommodate computations that would need more paper if done manually, the supply of imaginary paper in a Turing machine is ...
