A Möbius strip in Euclidean space cannot be moved or stretched into its mirror image; it is a chiral object with right- or left-handedness. [12] Möbius strips with odd numbers of half-twists greater than one, or that are knotted before gluing, are distinct as embedded subsets of three-dimensional space, even though they are all equivalent as ...

A torus is an orientable surface The Möbius strip is a non-orientable surface. Note how the disk flips with every loop. The Roman surface is non-orientable.. In mathematics, orientability is a property of some topological spaces such as real vector spaces, Euclidean spaces, surfaces, and more generally manifolds that allows a consistent definition of "clockwise" and "anticlockwise".

A Möbius strip with a geometric circle as boundary. The boundary has been highlighted in green, and a window cut in the fabric to show how the rope passes through. The boundary has been highlighted in green, and a window cut in the fabric to show how the rope passes through.
A two-dimensional representation of the Klein bottle immersed in three-dimensional space. In mathematics, the Klein bottle (/ ˈ k l aɪ n /) is an example of a non-orientable surface; that is, informally, a one-sided surface which, if traveled upon, could be followed back to the point of origin while flipping the traveler upside down.
The contest, which drew more than 500 submissions, was won by Gary Anderson, whose entry was the image now known as the universal recycling symbol. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] Anderson, then a 23-year-old college student at the University of Southern California , was awarded a $2,500 scholarship. [ 4 ]
The Möbius strip is a surface on which the distinction between clockwise and counterclockwise can be defined locally, but not globally. In general, a surface is said to be orientable if it does not contain a homeomorphic copy of the Möbius strip; intuitively, it has two distinct "sides". For example, the sphere and torus are orientable, while ...
Mobius band used as a logo on a van in Bristol, England. The company named Integral deals in building construction and maintenance. The band seems to have no connection with what they do, it is just a logo. Date: Taken May 2015. Source: My own photograph, taken with a Panasonic FZ200. Author: Myself (Adrian Pingstone).
