This is half an article. Stopped when it was getting to the good bit. Without heading off for a whole load of research I would have quite liked to know why splitting the Mobius loop results in two sections with non-overlapping circles.

I get it, pop science, don't overload the reader with details and all, but a bit more would have been nice.

Prematurely published I'd say. Today is Feb 6th and it's dated Feb 9. Should be an interesting article once completed though!
I know they aren't THAT unusual but I'm kind of impressed by the quality of illustration in the article.

How does a writer of a Scientific paper get stuff like that? Do they hire an artist to assist them? Or can this type of illustration be generated from the normal programs they use in their field?

They most likely hired a graphic designer to make the illustrations.
