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] and [Paul ...

Yet another bastion of human skill and intelligence has fallen to the onslaught of the machines. A new kind of deep-learning machine has taught itself to solve a Rubik’s Cube without any human ...

Using 35 years of computer processing time donated by Google, a team of researchers has now been able to calculate the minimum number of moves it should take to solve the Rubik’s Cube. Back in 1981, ...
