The incorporation of nonlinearities in the electromagnetic field may effectively reduce their mass spectrum by many orders of magnitude. As a consequence, these objects could be within (or near) the reach of current particle accelerators. We provide an exactly solvable model to support this idea. %K modified gravity %K Wormholes %K quantum black holes %R 10.1088/1475-7516/2014/02/010 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1306.6537 %U https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2014/02/010 %P 010-25pp
