For decades, molecular topology seemed simple: flat rings like benzene or twisted Möbius molecules with a 180° twist. But scientists have now revealed something once thought impossible—a half-Möbius molecule with a 90° twist.This remarkable C₁₃Cl₂ molecular ring introduces an entirely new topological state where electrons must travel four full loops around the molecule to return to their starting quantum state. Even more fascinating, researchers can toggle the molecule between multiple topological
