In this paper, we study the energy conditions of charged traversable wormholes in the framework of $f(R, \mathscr{L}_m)$ modified gravity. In the first case, we derive the shape functions (SFs) for two different choices of the charge…

It is well-known that traversable wormhole solutions to the Einstein equations require the existence of an exotic matter source violating the null energy condition. An apparent exception is the overcharged Kerr-Newman-NUT solution of the…

In the present paper, we investigate wormholes in 4D-Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity without the requirement of exotic matters. We have taken the radial dependent red-shift function $\phi=\ln \left( {\frac {r_{{0}}}{r}}+1 \right)$ and shape…

Following the recent theory of Lovelock-Brans-Dicke gravity, we continue to investigate the conditions to support traversable wormholes by the gravitational effects of spacetime parity and topology, which arise from the nonminimal couplings…

We consider the inhomogeneous Morris-Thorne wormhole metric with matter tensors characterised by a novel linear equation of state in $f(R)$ gravity. Using the Einstein's field equations in metric $f(R)$ gravity we model solutions for both…

Noncommutative geometry, an offshoot of string theory, replaces point-like objects by smeared objects. The resulting uncertainty may cause a black hole to be observationally indistinguishable from a traversable wormhole, while the latter,…
