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 is one of the most famous objects in mathematics. Discovered in 1858 by two German mathematicians—August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing—the Möbius strip is a ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

BIG Architects recently unveiled their unusual design for a new library to be built in Astana, Kazakhstan: a twisting infinite loop designed to maximize natural lighting for the library and shading ...

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) ...

Scientists have just created a new, strange type of molecule. It’s made of a bunch of atoms bound together in a ring, like many other, simpler molecules. But if you could somehow zoom in on the ...
