The Physics of Ribbon Curling

I kid you not!

Next time you look at those curled up ribbons at the end of a neatly-tied bow, you'll know that the physics of it has been a mystery till now. A physicist at Harvard claims to have figured it out, and lest you think this is purely an exercise in triviality, you'd be wrong. It seems that this knowledge may have some relevance to a new field of manufacturing, including nanotechnology!
