Researchers at Arizona State University have recently used origami to fold DNA into a Möbius strip. Why? Because its frickin' cool, that’s why. The scientists, who hail from the departments of ...

The enigmatic Möbius strip has long been an object of fascination, appearing in numerous works of art, most famously a woodcut by the Dutchman M.C. Escher, in which a tribe of ants traverses the ...

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 ...

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 ...

You have most likely encountered one-sided objects hundreds of times in your daily life—like the universal symbol for recycling, found printed on the backs of aluminum cans and plastic bottles. This ...

Math isn’t just about numbers—it’s also about patterns and shapes. One of my favorite shapes is the Möbius strip, a mind-warping surface with only one side. It’s simple to make one: Just take a strip ...

Just like a Möbius strip made of paper, when this DNA Möbius strip is cut down the middle, it generates a loop half as narrow and twice as long as the original, with four half turns (a twist of 720o) ...
