If you've ever wanted to live in a mathematical head-scratcher, the Moebius House is the home for you. Freelance writer Amanda C. Kooser covers gadgets and tech news with a twist for CNET. When not ...
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 ...
When I interviewed mathematician Eugenia Cheng for an upcoming episode of The Sporkful podcast, she sliced a bagel along a Mobius strip. A Mobius strip, in case you're not familiar, is a surface with ...
You have most likely encountered one-sided objects hundreds of times in your daily life – like the universal symbol for recycling, found printed on the backs of aluminum cans and plastic bottles. This ...
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), ...
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 ...
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 ...
Math isn’t just about numbers—it’s also about patterns and shapes. One of my favorite shapes is the Möbius strip, a mind-warping surface with only one side. It’s simple to make one: Just take a strip ...
A new proof shows why an uncountably infinite number of Möbius strips will never fit into a three-dimensional space. In math, three-dimensional space sprawls out to infinity in every direction. With ...
Bagels are getting too big and puffy, throwing off proper ratios to cream cheese and lox. Something must be done. When I interviewed mathematician Eugenia Cheng for an upcoming episode of The Sporkful ...
