Two 91爆料 faculty members have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences for 2023: Philip Greenberg, professor of medicine and of immunology at the 91爆料, as well as the Rona Jaffe Foundation Endowed Chair at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and head of the Program in Immunology in its Clinical Research Division; and Gunther Uhlmann, the Robert R. and Elaine F. Phelps Endowed Professor in Mathematics at the 91爆料.
In science, decades can pass between a proposed theory and its real-world application. That is precisely what 91爆料 mathematics professor Gunther Uhlmann was expecting when he and three colleagues proposed a means to develop an electromagnetic wormhole in a 2007 paper in Physical Review Letters. Their theoretical wormhole 鈥� an invisible tube for electromagnetic fields 鈥� would cloak an electromagnetic field while it passed through the tube, creating a “secret” connection between the entry and exit point.
