A Rubik’s Cube can be solved in 20 moves or less from any position, researchers claim -- if you are Google’s computer. It’s a problem that has been around for years, and though slightly less ...

The Rubik's Cube was created 50 years ago by Hungarian inventor Ernő Rubik. Over 500 million of them have been sold. Needless to say, the 3D puzzle has captured the imagination of countless students ...

In 2010, a group of mathematicians used a bank of supercomputers at Google to show any Rubik's Cube could be solved in 20 moves.

However, these AI algorithms cannot explain the thought processes behind their decisions. A computer that masters protein folding and also tells researchers more about the rules of biology is much ...

Quicker than a snap of the fingers it doesn’t have, a robot has shattered the world speed record for solving a Rubik’s Cube, completing the puzzle in just 0.305 seconds. This record time is roughly ...

Mathematicians and hobbyists have had a half-century of fun exploring the 43 billion billion permutations of Erno Rubik’s creation. “My method was understanding,” Erno Rubik said of the iconic twisty ...

The last time a human set the world record for solving a Rubik's Cube, it was Max Park, at 3.13 seconds for a standard 3×3×3 cube, set in June 2023. It is going to be very difficult for any human to ...
