Exact solutions of traversable wormholes are found under the assumption of spherical symmetry and the existence of a {\it non-static} conformal symmetry, which presents a more systematic approach in searching for exact wormhole solutions.…

The study of traversable wormholes is very hot topic for the past 30 years. One of the best possible way to make traversable wormhole is using the thin-shells to cut and paste two spacetime which has tunnel from one region of space-time to…

The idea of constructing a time machine is not new and even received a boost thanks to the realization that a traversable wormhole could be converted to a time machine. It was shown in a recent paper that the time-travel paradoxes can be…

While wormholes may be just as good a prediction of Einstein's theory as black holes, they are subject to severe restrictions from quantum field theory. In particular, a wormhole can only be held open by violating the null energy condition,…

In this work we have formulated a new class of traversable exponential wormhole metrics. Here initially we have considered a exponential wormhole metric in which the temporal component is an exponential function of $r$ but the spatial…

Wormholes and black holes have traditionally been treated a quite separate objects with relatively little overlap. The possibility of a connection arises in that wormholes, if they exist, might have profound influence on black holes, their…

It is generally agreed that the acceleration of the Universe can best be explained by the presence of dark or phantom energy. The equation of state of the latter shows that the null energy condition is violated. Such a violation is the…

Wormholes allowed by the general theory of relativity that are simultaneously traversable by humanoid travelers are subject to severe constraints from quantum field theory, particularly the so-called quantum inequalities, here slightly…

We provide a new matter source that supplies fuel to construct wormhole spacetime. The exact wormhole solutions are found in the model having, besides real matter, an anisotropic dark energy. We have shown that the exotic matters that are…

It is known that traversable wormhole can exist in General Relativity only if its throat contains some exotic matter. In this paper, we obtain $(2+1)$-dimensional (horizonless) charged magnetic brane without (curvature) singularity. Then,…

Macroscopic traversable wormhole solutions to Einstein's field equations in $(2+1)$ and $(3+1)$ dimensions with a cosmological constant are investigated. Ensuring traversability severely constrains the material used to generate the…

We present an exhaustive study of wormhole configurations in $\kappa(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{T})$ gravity with linear and non-linear functions. The model assumed Morrison-Thorne spacetime where the redshift and shape functions linked with the…

In this paper, I propose a static wormhole model within modified $f(R,T)$ gravity where $f(R,T)=R+2\lambda T$. The wormhole solutions have been evolved in four cases: three different shape function along with redshift…

We study spherically symmetric thin-shell wormholes in a string cloud background in (3+1)-dimensional spacetime. The amount of exotic matter required for the construction, the traversability and the stability under radial perturbations, are…

Traversable wormhole are primarily useful as "gedanken-experiments" and as a theoretician's probe of the foundations of general relativity. In this work, we analyse the possibility of having tunnels in a hyperbolic spacetime. We obtain…
