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 ...

AltDynamic has returned to Kickstarter for 1/22 time to launch its new Mobius Strip a CNC machined anodized work of mathematical art. Open your eyes to the endless possibilities that lie within the ...

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 ...

On Aug. 24, Richard Schwartz, professor of mathematics, published a preprint paper to arXiv.org that proved a conjecture that has stumped mathematicians for nearly 50 years: What is the shortest strip ...

A Möbius strip can irritate our perception. At first sight, the strip has two sides and two edges just like a normal ring made from a strip of paper, for example. If you follow one side or one edge ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American If you hang around with mathematicians or go ...

Möbius strips are curious mathematical objects. To construct one of these single-sided surfaces, take a strip of paper, twist it once and then tape the ends together. Making one of these beauties is ...

A Möbius band (or strip) is an intriguing surface with only one side and one edge. You can make one by joining the two ends of a long strip of paper after giving one end a 180-degree twist. An ant can ...
