M. C. Escher sketched them in pencil, now scientists are creating them out of photons. Möbius strips are a three-dimensional shapes with only one surface. It’s not hard to make one yourself: take a ...

A Möbius band is a two-dimensional surface with the puzzling property of having only one side. Despite this mind-bending characteristic, it’s an easy object to make: just take a long strip of paper, ...

In 1977, two mathematicians created a conjecture that proposed the minimum size a paper strip needed to be in order to form an embedded strip. Although they proposed an aspect ration of 1.73 (or √3), ...

The Möbius band is a fascinating object. You can make a simple model of it by joining the ends of a long, narrow strip of paper after giving one end a 180-degree twist. The result is a one-sided, ...

Long known as curious mathematical objects lacking a separate "inside" and "outside," Möbius strips have also captured the imagination of artists like M. C. Escher, whose painting Möbius Strip II ...

A team has synthesized a belt-shaped molecular nanocarbon with a twisted Möbius band topology, i.e., a Möbius carbon nanobelt. Obtaining structurally uniform nanocarbons -- ideally as single molecules ...

Researchers have discovered Möbius symmetry in metamaterials -- materials engineered from artificial "atoms" and "molecules." This phenomenon, never observed in natural materials, could open new ...

Why the customer and employee experience should combine to create an infinite experience loop. The Möbius strip is a double paradox: A one-sided strip with only one edge. It’s a mathematical concept ...
