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) ...

Exploring the mathematics behind everyone’s favourite unorientable single-sided surface can be quite the mind-bending exercise, so it’s nice that it’s so easy to make a Mobius strip out of paper and 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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Twist a two-dimensional strip of paper then tape its ends together and it transforms into a one-sided loop. It’s not magic; it’s a Möbius strip. These mathematical structures show up everywhere from M ...

A short section of carbon nanotube built from scratch forms a tiny Möbius strip – a one-sided surface that results from a band with a twist in it. You would imagine you could just salami slice a ...
