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 ...
AltDynamic has returned to Kickstarter for 1/22 time to launch its new Mobius Strip a CNC machined anodized work of mathematical art. Open your eyes to the endless possibilities that lie within the ...
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 ...
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), ...
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 ...
The “Ideas for Expo” column in The Spokesman-Review answered a question that readers 50 years later might also be asking: What does the Expo ’74 symbol mean? The answer: It’s a triangular Mobius strip ...
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 ...
