Good science articles mention which peer group is going to replicate the experiment.  I have to wonder if they're accounting for all energy appropriately.

As a materials scientist: the only problem here is the use of hype,
mainly by journalists, to make this more exciting than it is. This is a
metamaterial 'hose' that contains and hides a magnetic field that's
coming in at one end and out the other. It has nothing to do with the
concept of a wormhole that warps spacetime or enables faster-than-light
travel or communication, despite how journalists try to convolute the
two 'wormhole' concepts to increase click counts. It's pretty neat in
its own right but not in ways that excite journalists or most people:
better MRIs, better HDD read heads, maybe someday a new type of data
transfer bus that's magnetic instead of electric or optical.

The peer-reviewed article is open-access on Nature Scientific Reports:

http://www.nature.com/articles/srep12488

The second link (using the human body as some kind of magnetic yoke for
ultra-low power short-ragne magnetic data transfer) seems believable
too.. I didn't think we were very magnetic at all but I haven't read the
paper.

Neat link, Bobby.  Interesting article!

I haven't kept up with it, but there have been a lot of ideas out there about how the temporal lobe (terminus of the ventral visual stream for one thing) represents the properties of objects.  Hope to make time to read the article soon!

Also neat:  The article puts the Integrated Information Theory of consciousness of Gerald Edelman & Giulio Tononi to work!  I'm quite sympathetic to this approach to theorizing consciousness.  (. . .  thinks back to his first pass through a chapter on mutual information, and what developed from that in his own notes, coming from a different perspective . . . )
