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), ...

A Möbius strip is a fascinating object. You can easily create a Möbius strip when twisting the two ends of a strip of paper by 180 degrees and connect them together. Upon closer inspection, you ...

Visually, the “Klein bottle” doesn’t seem all that impressive. On first glance it looks like a trendy Japandi-style vase. And yet it has fascinated mathematicians for more than 140 years. To ...

New research presents a strategy for observing and manipulating the optical Berry phase in Möbius ring microcavities. In their paper, the authors discuss how an optical Berry phase can be generated ...

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) ...

A soft robot shaped like a Möbius strip can move when activated by light, and could be used to transport medicine and collect samples inside the body. Zi Liang Wu at Zhejiang University in China and ...
