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) ...

The two academics have discovered how to predict the shape of a Möbius strip, the 'endless ribbon' which is obtained by taking a rectangular strip of paper, twisting one end through 180 degrees, and ...

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), ...

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 ...

The Möbius strip or Möbius band is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. It has the mathematical property of being non-orientable. It is also a ruled surface. It was ...

When I interviewed mathematician Eugenia Cheng for an upcoming episode of The Sporkful podcast, she sliced a bagel along a Mobius strip. A Mobius strip, in case you're not familiar, is a surface with ...

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 ...
