A '''Möbius strip''' is a one-sided shape. It is formed by taking a thin strip of material, twisting a section 180 degrees, and making the two ends touch. Despite being one sided, the object does, in fact, still exist in three [[dimension]]s.

If one is cut down the middle, the result is a strip with two twists; if this strip is cut down the middle, the result is two interlinked bands.
The shape was independently discovered by [[German]] [[mathematicians]] [[August Ferdinand Möbius]] and [[Johann Benedict Listing]].
