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 ...

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), ...

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 ...

In geometry, there are surfaces that do without an inside or outside—and some need at least four dimensions to exist ...

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 ...
