(color online) Diagram of spatial separation. In this local area, the obstacle (here which is metal) separates space into two sides (colored in blue), neither of which is capable of contacting the other side directly. Attributed to the single-surface property of the Möbius strip, surface waves can reach the opposite side and indirect tuning is achievable.
