If you've ever wanted to live in a mathematical head-scratcher, the Moebius House is the home for you. Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist for CNET. When not ...

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 ...

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 ...

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), ...

Math isn’t just about numbers—it’s also about patterns and shapes. One of my favorite shapes is the Möbius strip, a mind-warping surface with only one side. It’s simple to make one: Just take a strip ...

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 ...

Math is the basis for music, but for those of us who aren’t virtuosic at either, the connection isn’t always easy to grasp. Which is what makes the videos of Vi Hart, a “mathemusician” with a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
