Möbius strip

Enlarge picture
The Möbius strip has only one side and one edge. It consists of a strip of paper connected at its ends with a half-twist in the middle.

Structure made by giving a half twist to a flat strip of paper and joining the ends together. It has certain remarkable properties, arising from the fact that it has only one edge and one side. If cut down the centre of the strip, instead of two new strips of paper, only one long strip is produced. It was invented by the German mathematician August Möbius.
