A US physicist and a Canadian computer scientist have won this year's Turing Award for their invention of a form of seemingly unbreakable encryption. Charles H Bennett and Gilles Brassard's work, ...

The Turing Pi 2 is a small computer made up of… other computers. It allows you to create a cluster of up to four different single-board computers to create your own compact, fanless, low-power server ...

Do computers think? Some experts say yes, some say no. —Time magazine, Jan. 23, 1950 How do we tell whether a machine thinks? Much of today’s discussion of the matter starts with British computer ...

Mini PC enthusiasts who enjoy building projects using Raspberry Pi, Nvidia Jetson and Turing RK1 compute modules may be interested in a new piece of hardware launched via Kickstarter this week which ...

In 1939, after the outbreak of World War II, the Allied forces facing Germany had a problem. While it was easy to intercept German wireless communications, their content was difficult to decipher as ...

Avi Wigderson helped prove that randomness is not required for efficient computation. Hmm.. I know that some of the 'best' quantum algorithm are also probabilistic. (Such as Shor's algorithm.) I ...
