<p>It may not instantly whisk you to far-flung reaches of the universe like the gravitational wormholes of <em>Stargate, Star Trek</em> and <em>Interstellar</em>, but researchers at Universitat Aut貌noma de Barcelona (UAB) claim to have created the first experimental wormhole that links two regions of space magnetically.</p> <p>Using metamaterials and metasurfaces, the scientists for UAB's Department of Physics created a sphere that from the outside is magnetically undetectable. The sphere consisted of an external layer with a ferromagnetic surface and an inner layer made of a superconducting material, while crossing it from one side to the other and forming a tunnel was a cylinder made of a rolled ferromagnetic sheet. </p> <p><div class="inline-item"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528/http://www.gizmag.com/magnetic-wormhole/39257/pictures#1" target="_blank"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/magnetic-wormhole-1@2x.jpg" alt=""> </a> </div> </p> <p>Using this arrangement, the magnetic field from a magnet or an electromagnet at one end of the tunnel passes through the "wormhole" undetected and appears at the other end in the form of an isolated magnetic monopole, which is something that does not exist in nature. </p> <p>The research follows on from previous work by the same team in 2014 when they built a magnetic fiber capable of transporting a magnetic field from one end to the other. However, the fiber was detectable magnetically whereas the wormhole is a three-dimensional device that is undetectable by any magnetic field.</p> <p>Although it isn't in quite the same league as connecting two points in spacetime, and the device only creates the <i>illusion</i> of a magnetic field propagating through a tunnel outside the 3D space, the researchers say the technology could have applications in fields where magnetic fields are used, such as medicine. For example, the team suggests the technology could make is possible to take MRI scans of different parts of the body simultaneously, or make such scans more comfortable for patients by distancing them from the detectors.</p> <p>The team's study was published in the journal <em><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528/http://www.nature.com/articles/srep12488" target="_blank">Scientific Reports</a></em>.</p> <p>Source: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528/http://www.uab.cat/web/newsroom/news-detail/magnetic-wormhole-created-for-first-time-1345668003610.html?noticiaid=1345689132054" target="_blank">UAB</a></p> </div>  <div class="page-section"> <ul class="list-ui list-ui--horizontal share-bar"> <li> <div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/magnetic-wormhole/39257/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false" data-share="true"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> _ga.trackFacebook(); </script> </li> <li> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528/http://www.gizmag.com/magnetic-wormhole/39257/">Tweet</a> </li> <li> <div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/magnetic-wormhole/39257/"></div> </li> <li> <iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px;" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A//www.gizmag.com/magnetic-wormhole/39257/" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1" name="iframe-stmblpn-widget-1"></iframe> </li> <li> <div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/magnetic-wormhole/39257/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_lrg/magnetic-wormhole.png" data-description="It may not instantly whisk you to far-flung reaches of the universe like the gravitational wormholes of Stargate, Star Trek and Interstellar, but researchers at Universitat Aut貌noma de Barcelona (UAB) claim to have created the first experimental wormhole that links two regions of space magnetically."></div> </li> <li> <script type="IN/Share" data-counter="top"></script> </li> <li class="js-share-reddit"> <script type="text/javascript"> reddit_newwindow='1' </script> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="ad "> <div class="ad-label">Advertisement</div> <script async src="//web.archive.org/web/20150905055528js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <ins class="adsbygoogle ad-article-bottom" style="" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1607124478120364" data-ad-slot="6055296962"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div>  <div class="page-section"> <div class="OUTBRAIN" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/magnetic-wormhole/39257/" data-widget-id="AR_1" data-ob-template="Gizmag"></div> <script type="text/javascript" async="async" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528js_/http://widgets.outbrain.com/outbrain.js"></script> </div>  <div class="page-section media"> <p class="h2 title-standout">About the Author</p> <a class="media__right" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528im_/http://images.gizmag.com/CACHE/images/avatars/34.1790127a9e6a.jpg" alt="Darren Quick"/> </a> <p>Darren's love of technology started in primary school with a Nintendo Game & Watch Donkey Kong (still functioning) and a Commodore VIC 20 computer (not still functioning). In high school he upgraded to a 286 PC, and he's been following Moore's law ever since. This love of technology continued through a number of university courses and crappy jobs until 2008, when his interests found a home at Gizmag.</p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/"> All articles by Darren Quick </a> </div>  <div class="page-section"> <p class="h2 title-standout">6 Comments</p> <ul class="list-ui list-ui--vertical word-wrap"> <li> <p>Douglas Grubich knows exactly where this story sits in terms of reality. Yep that's exactly where the problem lies with those type of generators and if their device can in fact provide true flux shielding as described then yeah.. they should be able to make self perpetuating magnetic generators... unless of course the energy required to achieve this wormhole is way more than could be generated from such a design.. or if it simply requires commensurate energy to redirect the flux as you could obtain from that application.</p> <span class="strong">JaxCavalera</span> </li> <li> <p>This is a strange one. Considering Paul Dirac's work on the existence of monopoles, and produced synthetically last year (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150905055528/https://www.amherst.edu/news/faculty/node/532493)" rel="nofollow">https://www.amherst.edu/news/faculty/node/532493)</a>, and requiring a Bose-Einstein condensate, this seems a little too good to be true in terms of monopoles being developed in your back garden shed, quantum or otherwise. However it would be possible under certain weather conditions (where high energy alternating electrostatic/electromagnetic fields occur), to experience naturally generated magnetic tunnels with properties similar to monopoles. Place an aircraft in that type of tunnel would bring a whole new meaning to air travel. But I think monopole for this article title is a little stretched!</p> <span class="strong">Lifeform</span> </li> <li> <p>What might be useful about the magnetic "wormhole", if the tech matures -- it could shorten the amount of time between Earth communicating with a deep space probe. A series of these magnetic wormholes devices could be sent up. Real-time communicating with a Martian Colony would be possible, without waiting long intervals.</p> <span class="strong">DouglasGrubich</span> </li> <li> <p>BS. The story is claiming the creation of a magnetic monopole by redirecting the path of magnetic flux. It looks more like a modified coil. But the scientists can prove their claim by simply manufacturing a self energized magnetic motor, since its always been the flow of flux which has defeated its creation.</p> <span class="strong">Johnny Partain</span> </li> <li> <p>That's like saying a strip line microwave waveguide is a space warp because it takes out the third dimension from transmitting microwaves. Also, the magnetic fields are not transmitted instantaneously at warp speed. They are transmitted at C, or under.</p> <span class="strong">Neil Farbstein</span> </li> <li> <p>This seems sort of a signal transmission cloaking device?</p> <span class="strong">Bob Flint</span>
