The mobius strip, a geometrical object with no beginning and end, is gaining popularity in public art and among corporations, which view it as a way to symbolize transformation, evolution and ...

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 ...

Any attempt to better understand Möbius strips is bound to run into some kinks. The twisted loops are so strange that mathematicians have struggled to answer some basic questions about them. For ...

Imagine holding a strip of paper. You give it a half-twist and then tape its ends together. The shape you’re now holding is the ticket to a world where surfaces have only one side and boundaries blur ...

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), ...

If you were to trace both “sides” of a Möbius strip, you would never have to lift your finger. A single-sided surface with no boundaries, the strip is an artist’s reverie and a mathematician’s feat. 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 ...
