Artificial intelligence, which may at some point automate your job and can already defeat professionals in six-player poker, is now able to solve Rubik's Cube faster than any human. Researchers at the ...

As a preteen, Max Park couldn't unscrew the cap of a water bottle, let alone try to tackle a Rubik's cube. He lacked the fine motor skills, a symptom of his autism. Now, at 21, Max can solve a Rubik's ...

If you thought solving a Rubik’s cube was difficult, you were right and maths can back you up. A recent study shows that the question of whether a scrambled Rubik’s cube of any size can be solved in a ...

Only the most hardcore puzzle-solvers ever go beyond the standard 3x3x3 Rubik’s cube, attempting much larger ones such as those pictured on the right. Now an algorithm has been developed that can ...

One of the most mind-boggling toys that many of us have grown up trying to solve is the Rubik’s cube — a simple-looking mechanical puzzle, made from small square pieces called ‘cubies’. It consists of ...

Walking through a toy store, one of the most recognizable items you’ll see is the iconic cube with six colored sides: the Rubik’s Cube. Chances are you’ve played with one, received it as a gift, or ...

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 ...
