Well, scientists made a wormhole.

[_Augustus_]

While it only allows magnetic fields to travel through it, it's a start.

Its not a space-time wormhole, its simulating the effect of a wormhole using superconductive cloaking. IOW they did not make a wormhole,

they made a directional cloak.

It is not a wormhole...it is an invisible cloak for magnetic field.

I am a wormhole too, today I eat an orange and it disappear, then appeared on the toilet, with some changes due the dimensional shift.

Scientists and journalist always try to come out with a way to call attention.

Space.com is sadly, more and more riddled with sensationalism.

Scientists also managed to fuse Hydrogen, and have superconduction at near room-temperatures. Not to mention quantum computing!

Even if they created a wormhole, which, given previous replies, seems not to be the case, there's a huge difference between a hysterical announcement in the press and mastering the technology in such a way that it becomes applicable to everyday life.

Yeh, no wormhole there - simply a physical structure able to 'propagate' the magnetic field it receive from one end at the same power at the other end. Would have been much more interesting if they were able to project that magnetic field without a physical support
