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 ...

Möbius strips are curious mathematical objects. To construct one of these single-sided surfaces, take a strip of paper, twist it once and then tape the ends together. Making one of these beauties is ...

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), ...
