Can we program atoms?

Atom is a “hackable” text editor, which means it is customizable. There is an init script one can customize using CoffeeScript, a style sheet to customize the looks of Atom, and a keymap to map or re-map key combinations to commands.

Are computers based on Turing machines?

A Turing machine is the original idealized model of a computer, invented by Alan Turing in 1936. Turing machines are equivalent to modern electronic computers at a certain theoretical level, but differ in many details.

What is atom application?

Atom is a free and open-source text and source code editor developed by GitHub (Atom – A Hackable Text and Source Code Editor for Linux). Its developers call it a “hackable text editor for the 21st Century” (Atom 1.0). It is as welcoming to a newbie as it is for an experienced developer.

Why Turing machine is used?

A Turing machine is an abstract computational model that performs computations by reading and writing to an infinite tape. Turing machines provide a powerful computational model for solving problems in computer science and testing the limits of computation — are there problems that we simply cannot solve?

Why do we need universal Turing machine?

The problem with the Turing machine is that a different machine must be constructed for every new computation to be performed for every input output relation. This is the reason the Universal Turing machine was introduced which along with input on the tape takes the description of a machine M.

Why is the universal Turing machine important?

The most important1 idea in Computer Science is the idea of the Universal Turing Machine. The Turing Machine is curious because, according to the Church-Turing Thesis, what it can compute is the definition of computability. Practically, this means that all languages are equivalently powerful in the computability sense.
