Wormholes have been an evergreen topic of interest among sci-fi fans. The discoveries of wrinkles in the fabric of space and time, that can warp the two dimension to transport a body instantaneously to an alternate universe. Well, don’t get too excited; it’s all still very theoretical. What has actually been made by scientists, is a wormhole for magnets, which transports magnetic fields through space. The transaction of the magnet will occur without being visible from the outside.

“From a magnetic point of view, this device acts like a wormhole, as if the magnetic field was transferred through an extra special dimension,” lead study author Jordi Prat-Camps of the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Spain told Live Science.

The wormhole device contains an interior spiral of ferromagnetic metal, surrounded by two concentric spheres. The ferromagnet takes care of the magnetic field lines from one end to the other. A shell of yttrium barium copper oxide (a superconducting material, yellow) bends and distorts the magnetic field lines as they travel.

The outer shell composed of “mu-metals” (used for shielding electronic devices, silver) perfectly cancels out the magnetic distortion of the superconductor, rendering the entire thing “magnetically invisible” from the outside.
This creation is necessary as it could greatly improve the MRI scans we currently use. A strong magnet could take someone’s picture from very far away.
