A deep reinforcement learning algorithm programmed by University of California computer scientists and mathematicians -- can solve the Rubik’s Cube in a fraction of a second Researchers have developed ...

Ever since the Rubik’s Cube was released, it’s taunted almost a half billion tinkerers who think they can crack its confounding mysteries, only to be stymied by its maddening secrets. Now, it’s time ...

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 ...

Only the most hardcore puzzle-solvers ever go beyond the standard 3x3x3 Rubik’s cube, attempting much larger ones such as those pictured on the right. Now an algorithm has been developed that can ...

How fast can you solve a Rubik's Cube? Now, do that with one hand or while blindfolded. That's the skill level that hundreds of teens at a Rubik's Cube championship in Toronto exhibited as they raced ...
