You can easily create a M\u00f6bius strip when twisting the two ends of a strip of paper by 180 degrees and connecting them together. Upon closer inspection, you realize that this ribbon has only one surface that cannot be distinguished between inside and outside or below and above. Because of this special topological property, the M\u00f6bius strip has become an object of countless mathematical discourses, artistic representations and practical applications, for example, in paintings by M.C. Escher, as a wedding <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/tags\/ring\/\" rel=\"tag\" class=\"\">ring<\/a>, or as a drive belt to wear both sides of the belt equally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the current issue of Nature Photonics, Prof. Dr. Oliver G.
