Abstract: We will review the construction of traversable wormhole solutions in four dimensions. The simplest construction involves magnetic fields and charged massless fermions. These are ingredients found in the Standard Model at very short distances, giving us possible microscopic wormholes. One can have larger wormholes, such as the ones that would allow a person to travel, by adding an extra "dark sector" with suitable massless matter. One particular example involves the Randal Sundrum II model.
