In geometry, there are surfaces that do without an inside or outside—and some need at least four dimensions to exist ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 strip, with its fascinating structure, was first discovered by August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858 1. Interestingly, in his review paper on Möbius molecules, Herges ...

Another anime and manga-inspired crossover with Marvel is on the way.

A new proof shows why an uncountably infinite number of Möbius strips will never fit into a three-dimensional space. In math, three-dimensional space sprawls out to infinity in every direction. With ...
