The Japanese company MegaHouse presented the smallest model of the Rubik's cube in the world. It's so tiny you might need tweezers to assemble it.

Japanese toy maker MegaHouse has introduced a miniature Rubik's Cube. CNN writes about it.

The MegaHouse company said that work on the concept of this Rubik's cube began four years ago, and production began in 2022. In August of this year, the Guinness Book of World Records recognized this cube as the smallest rotating puzzle cube in the world.

This Rubik's cube is made of aluminum. Each side is 5 mm, and the puzzle weighs just 0.3 g. That's about a thousandth of the original size of the cube, which is about 2.2 inches (5.6 cm) wide.
