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.

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, ...

A machine has taught itself to solve a Rubik’s Cube without human assistance, according to a group of UC Irvine researchers. Two algorithms developed by the researchers, collectively called Deep ...

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.

I have always loved playing with a Rubik’s Cube, which combines logic with a satisfying tactile activity. I can solve it—getting each of the six sides to be one color—but not particularly ...
