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 ...

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 ...

Get mathy with your crochet! Learn how to create a mobius strip using crochet stitches—as simple or as complicated as you like. This technique is perfect for a cozy ear warmer headband or scarves.

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 ...

One-sided objects are surprisingly common – and misunderstood. What are they, and how have they helped us understand the world? You have most likely encountered one-sided objects hundreds of times in ...
