The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has created computers that can drive cars, synthesise chemical compounds, fold proteins and detect high-energy particles at a superhuman level. However, these ...

Since its invention in the 1970s, there have only been a few things that have revealed the limits of problem solving skills in humans faster than a Rubik’s Cube. The 3D multicoloured, logic puzzle has ...

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 ...

The Rubik’s cube craze ran through the world like wildfire in the 1980s. This simple mechanical puzzle is made from small pieces, called “cubies”, in a 3x3x3 structure in which each of the six faces ...

A team of four students at Purdue University has built a robot that can solve a Rubik’s Cube in about one-tenth of a second The robot, which the team has dubbed the “Purdubik’s Cube,” solves the ...

Blink and you'll miss it: A Purdue University student engineering team has built a robot that can solve a Rubik's cube in one-tenth of a second — faster than the average time it takes to blink an eye.

It looks like the world’s fastest Rubik’s Cube solve is, unofficially, 1.019 seconds, thanks to an Arduino chip, some 3D-printed parts, a piece of software and two clever guys. Officially, the world ...
