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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at Arizona State University have recently used origami to fold DNA into a Möbius strip. Why? Because its frickin’ cool, that’s why. The scientists, who hail from the departments of ...
