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 ...

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 ...

The Möbius band is a fascinating object. You can make a simple model of it by joining the ends of a long, narrow strip of paper after giving one end a 180-degree twist. The result is a one-sided, ...

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 ...

Imagine holding a strip of paper. You give it a half-twist and then tape its ends together. The shape you’re now holding is the ticket to a world where surfaces have only one side and boundaries blur ...

At least, George Hart does, because he figured out how to do a two-twist Möbius cut into a bagel. Not bad. But I don’t think it would satisfy my hunger. You can only schmeer one side! Photo by George ...
