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 ...

Scientists say they have cracked a nearly eight-decade-old riddle involving the Moebius strip, a mathematical phenomenon that has also become an icon of art. Popularised by the Dutch artist MC Escher, ...

File this under “OMG this is so cool why didn’t I think of it?!”: a video of a superconducting magnet sailing up, down, and around a track shaped into a Möbius strip: I love this so so so much. It’s ...

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 ...

From cylindrical nanotubes to the hollow spheres known as buckyballs, carbon is famous for forming tiny, complex nanostructures (SN: 8/15/19). Now, scientists have added a new geometry to the list: a ...

A Moebius strip created from laser light opens up new possibilities for material processing and for micro- and nanotechnology. Physics sometimes borders on light art. An international team headed by ...

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 ...
