The twisted, single-sided loop known as a Möbius band, when made from a stiff material such as paper, takes on a complicated shape that researchers have finally calculated.

This Möbius gear is absolutely mind-bending, and almost impossible to describe. It’s a toothed gear that only has one side, made by Berkeley robotics student Aaron Hoover using various 3-D ...

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 ...
