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 ...

Researchers at the University of California believe they've created an algorithm that can solve the Rubik's Cube on its own. It depends on "autodidactic iteration" which is a "novel reinforcement ...

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 ...

Fancy algorithms capable of solving a Rubik’s Cube have appeared before, but a new system from the University of California, Irvine uses artificial intelligence to solve the 3D puzzle from ...

OpenAI has developed an AI model, trained with a novel method, to effectively "teach" a robotic hand how to solve a Rubik's cube.

I assumed that successfully unscrambling a cube would forever remain on my bucket list, but a smart Rubik’s Cube is finally teaching me the strategies to solve one.

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 ...

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 ...

How to solve a Rubik’s Cube in under 2 minutes You’ll be able to impress all your friends (and make some new ones) with this trick.

The Rubik's Cube is a classic puzzle toy, but trying to solve it for the first time can be a daunting task. Fortunately, there are some very good guides that show you how to tackle the puzzle.
