Researchers in Spain have created a tiny magnetic wormhole for the first time ever, and they've used it to connect two regions of space so that a magnetic field can travel 'invisibly' between them.
Before you get too excited, this isn't the same as the gravitational wormholes that allows humans to travel rapidly across space in science fiction TV shows and films such as Stargate, Star Trek, and Interstellar, and it's not able to transport matter. But the physicists managed to create a tunnel that allows a magnetic field to disappear at one point, and then reappear at another, which is still a pretty huge deal.
A wormhole is effectively just a tunnel that connects two places in the Universe. So far scientists have simulated this process, but are nowhere near creating a gravitational wormhole, as it would require us to create huge amounts of gravitational energy - something we don't yet know how to do.
But what physicists are good at is generating and manipulating electromagnetic energy, and so the team from the Autonomous University of Barcelona decided to see if they could build a magnetic wormhole in the lab instead.
Last year they managed to create tunnels that directed magnetic fields from one place to another, but these weren't true wormholes because they didn't keep the magnetic field undetectable or magnetically 'invisible' while it was travelling inside the tunnel.
This is something they've now finally managed to overcome, by using metamaterial and metasurfaces to build their tunnel. That meant that they could make the magnetic field from a source, such as a magnet or an electromagnet, appear at the other end of the wormhole with no trace of it in between.
This created the illusion that the magnetic field must be travelling through some kind of extra dimension. Oddly enough, it also meant that an isolated magnetic monopole - a magnet with only one pole, North or South - appeared randomly at the end of the tunnel.
"This result is strange enough in itself, as magnetic monopoles do not exist in nature," a press release explains. "The overall effect is that of a magnetic field that appears to travel from one point to another through a dimension that lies outside the conventional three dimensions."
To be clear, the wormhole in this experiment isn't really invisible to the human eye - it's a sphere made up of an outer ferromagnetic surface, an inner superconducting layer, and then a ferromagnetic sheet rolled into a cylinder internally - but the way that it's been designed means that it, and its contents, is totally undetectable magnetically. In other words, it's magnetically invisible from the outside, but to us it looks more like this:
And while the tunnel isn't anywhere near to the kind of wormhole that would take us across space, it does have a lot of features in common. "[It] changes the topology of space, as if the inner region has been magnetically erased from space," lead researcher Àlvar Sánchez explains.
The research will have practical applications in areas that use magnetic fields - for example, it could lead to the creation of MRI machines that don't require people to lie inside the claustrophobic machine, or more targeted MRI scans.
But importantly, it also teaches us more about ways we can tunnel our way through space - an endeavour that holds countless exciting possibilities.

실험의 주 리더의 이름은 Àlvar Sànchez 라고 하고요.
모노폴 또한 실험 과정에서 발견되었다고 하며,
모노폴은 자연세계에서 존재하지 않는 단극자라고 합니다.
모노폴과 관련하여 아래 출처에서 일부 발췌하여 올려 봅니다.
<모노폴> ---> https://namu.wiki/w/%EB%AA%A8%EB%85%B8%ED%8F%B4
발췌 내용: 보통 자기 홀극(Magnetic monopole)을 가리키는 말이며 단극자라는 뜻이다.
자기 홀극은 하나의 자기장만을 가지는 자성물질이며 단일 N극, 혹은 단일 S극을 가진다.
고전 전자기학에서 자기홀극은 존재할 수 없는 것으로 간주된다.
그러다가 1931년, 영국의 폴 디랙이 그의 논문에서 자기홀극의 존재를 예측한 이래
이를 관측하기 위한 노력이 계속되었다....
