We’ve mastered the Rubik’s Cube. By we, though, I don’t necessarily mean that you and I have figured out how to solve the classic puzzle, but other members of humanity have certainly shown the Cube ...

Few things reveal the limits of someone’s problem-solving skills faster than a Rubik’s Cube, the multicolored, three-dimensional puzzle that has befuddled so many since the 1970s. Though the cube has ...

The Rubik’s Cube has been around for decades. I’ve toyed with the cube, probably in the very late ‘80s or early ‘90s, but never imagined being able to solve one. But wouldn’t it be satisfying if I ...

Researchers have developed an AI algorithm which can solve a Rubik's Cube in a fraction of a second, according to a study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. The system, known as ...

Why it matters: Solving a puzzle box is not the only problem autodidactic iteration can solve. The deep-learning algorithms used in Deep Cube can be applied in other fields that require complex ...

Discover the tricks the planet's fastest speedcubers use to challenge for the Red Bull Rubik's Cube World Cup. And now, you can learn and compete alongside the pros without leaving your sofa. The ...

Solving a Rubik's Cube is not as impossible as it may seem thanks to these tips. Let's take a page out of a 1980s toy catalog and revisit the Rubik's Cube! First, it's the perfect solution to boredom: ...

A machine has taught itself to solve a Rubik’s Cube without human assistance, according to a group of UC Irvine researchers. Two algorithms developed by the researchers, collectively called Deep Cube, ...

Some of the fastest Rubik’s cube solvers in the world have gotten down to a five second solve — which is quite an incredible feat for a human — but how about one second? Well, [Jay Flatland] and [Paul ...

The simple Rubik's Cube is a harder problem than most people realize. Using the currently provided best algorithm for solving the cube, for example, would take the computer you're reading this on now ...

The Rubik's cube is a toy that pretty much everyone is familiar with, but it also has become a proving ground for researchers in fields as diverse as artificial intelligence, operations, and search ...
