This concept, also known as the Turing machine, is considered the basis for the modern theory of computation. In 1936, Turing went to Princeton University in America, returning to England in 1938.

Alan Turing, the 'Father of modern computing,' born on June 23, 1912, revolutionized technology with his Turing machine concept. His codebreaking during World War II significantly shortened the ...

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.

A small subset of these Turing machines are known as Universal Turing machines; they are capable of solving any computational problem known.
