A Rubik’s Cube or “magic cube” can be configured over 43 quintillion ways, and every configuration can technically be solved in 20 moves or less. In practice, the most expert human cube solvers ...

There are a number of very impressive examples of how artificial intelligence can accomplish things that humans simply can’t, but nothing is cooler than seeing AI married to robotics. OpenAI, the ...

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 ...

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.

Will Callan has been solving the Rubik’s Cube since 2012, when he was in the fifth grade. He started competing against others gifted in the art of deciphering the puzzle not long after. On Aug. 1, the ...
