10-orthoplex

There are two Coxeter groups associated with the 10-orthoplex, one regular, dual of the 10-cube with the C10 or 4,38 symmetry group, and a lower symmetry with two copies of 9-simplex facets, alternating, with the D10 or 37,1,1 symmetry group.

8-orthoplex

There are two Coxeter groups associated with the 8-cube, one regular, dual of the octeract with the C8 or 4,3,3,3,3,3,3 symmetry group, and a half symmetry with two copies of 7-simplex facets, alternating, with the D8 or 35,1,1 symmetry group.A lowest symmetry construction is based on a dual of a 8-orthotope, called a 8-fusil.

Many organometallic compounds adopt cube structures, examples being (CpFe)4(CO)4, (Cp*Ru)4Cl4, (3Li)4(CH3Li)4.

Cube 2: Hypercube

The Cube is actually a tesseract; it has the unlimited number of rooms, each of them are high-tech built, and the Cube itself controls gravity, time, illusion and reality.

It is unknown if the Cube was actually built through the cubic honeycombs using the Schläfli symbol.

Released in 2002, Cube 2: Hypercube had a bigger budget than its predecessor, and a new director, Andrzej Sekuła.

Cube Interactive owns a license, granted by Ofcom (the UK broadcasting regulator), to operate on the 8 MHz (542–550Mhz) interleaved spectrum in the Cardiff, Newport, parts of Bristol, and Weston-super-Mare.

David Singmaster

A self-described metagrobologist, he is most famous for his cube notation to the Rubik's Cube (i.e., what letters denote what face to turns on the Rubik's Cube) and his huge personal collection of mechanical puzzles and books of brain teasers.

Exterior space

Shape theory: Many shape invariants (Borsuk groups, Quigley inward and approaching groups) of a compact metric space can be obtained as exterior homotopy groups of the exterior space determined by the open neighborhoods of a compact metric space embedded in the Hilbert cube.

Green Vs. Red

Lupin and Koichi Zenigata allows Yasuo to escape with the Ice Cube to prevent its misuse in war.

Halved cube graph

As with the hypercube graphs, and their isometric (distance-preserving) subgraphs the partial cubes, a halved cube graph may be embedded isometrically into a real vector space with the Manhattan metric (L1 distance function).

Imhoff-Schokoladenmuseum

A small tropicarium, open to visitors, consisting of a glass cube 10 metres square houses cacao trees of the species Theobroma cacao and Theobroma grandiflorum.

Implicit graph

For instance, in searching for a solution to a puzzle such as Rubik's Cube, one may define an implicit graph in which each vertex represents one of the possible states of the cube, and each edge represents a move from one state to another.

Jessica Fridrich

Fascinated by puzzles and complex geometry, Fridrich even has Rubik's Cube inventor Ernő Rubik's signature in her notebook.

Judenplatz

Created by British artist Rachel Whiteread, the memorial is a reinforced concrete cube resembling a library with its volumes turned inside out.

The 8×8×8 cube format was later picked up by Dr. Ferdinand Maack in 1907 when developing Raumschach ("Space Chess").

Metatron's Cube

The derivation of Metatron's cube from the tree of life, which the Talmud clearly states was excluded from human experience during the exile from Eden, has led some scholars (including Johann Andreas Eisenmenger) to portray Metatron as the means by which humanity was given knowledge of YHVH; presumably implying that study of Metatron's cube would be necessary to understanding the tree of life.

Monir Amerkhous

Monir competed in the Rubik's Cube French Open organised by the World Cube Association and which took place in Paris the 15th and 16 March 2008.

Necker cube

The Necker cube is discussed to such extent in Robert J. Sawyer's 1998 science fiction novel Factoring Humanity that "Necker" becomes a verb, meaning to impel one's brain to switch from one perspective or perception to another.

In Peter Watts' novel Blindsight he postulates that consciousness serves only a set of training wheels for reality and this manifests in our ability to only see one aspect of the necker cube at a time.

NeXTSTEP

Mike Sendall buys a NeXT cube for evaluation, and gives it to Tim Berners-Lee.

It was also documented by Harry Houdini as a "Japanese hexagon puzzle box" in 1922 without the simple cube version, in the company of several other traditional models which he learned from a Japanese acquaintance.
