Once upon a time, over 40 years ago, a horde of computer scientists descended on the West German city of Dortmund. They were competing to catch an elusive quarry — only four of its kind had ever been ...

When he invented Turing machines in 1936, Alan Turing also invented modern computing. In 1928, the German mathematicians David Hilbert and Wilhelm Ackermann proposed a question called the ...

One of the problems with a classic Turing machine is the tape must be infinitely long. [Mark’s] Turing Ring still doesn’t have an infinite tape, but it does make it circular to save space. That along ...

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 ...

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 ...

The compact MSR60 is a CNC turning center with front-facing 6-inch/8-inch chucks equipped with a Y-axis. It has a single 10-station turret, an X-axis stroke of 240 mm, a Y-axis stroke of ±60 mm, a ...

The process of grinding was at one time the preferred method of producing workpieces with very high tolerances before the development of high-precision hard turning machines. Thanks to both new ...
