Another approach, more appropriate for this article, is to consider the Rubik’s Cube in light of a branch of mathematics called Abstract Algebra, as this algorithm does.

The authors also discussed their research in a paper published last June, which described a machine that could solve a Rubik's Cube without algorithms created by human beings.

But no matter the cube, the process of solving one involves math — specifically, algorithms. Roman Chavez loved Rubik's Cubes so much, he founded the Jr. Oakland Cubers in high school.

The fastest people need about 50 moves to solve a Rubik’s Cube. “Our AI takes about 20 moves, most of the time solving it in the minimum number of steps,” says the study’s senior author, Pierre Baldi, ...

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.

A new iPhone app called CubeCheater helps you solve the classic Rubik's Cube puzzle toy using a mix of sophisticated algorithms and simple image-recognition technology.

Most kids can't wait for the final bell of the school day. But at Aloha Huber Park Elementary in Beaverton, some students stay after school to learn about algorithms -- through a Rubik's Cube.

A deep reinforcement learning algorithm can solve the Rubik's Cube puzzle in a fraction of a second. The work is a step toward making AI systems that can think, reason, plan and make decisions.

Today's Google Doodle marks the 40th anniversary of the Rubik's Cube: the toy and/or puzzle that has rapidly infuriated and then eternally haunted almost person to have walked this fair Earth ...

The old-fashioned Rubik's Cube builds and employs skills that will help kids excel in the modern classroom and their 21st-century careers.
