Scientists teleport two different objects

Beaming people in "Star Trek" fashion is still in the realms of science fiction, but physicists at the Niels Bohr Institute at Copenhagen University in Denmark have made a breakthrough by using both light and matter.

The experiment involved for the first time a macroscopic atomic object containing thousands of billions of atoms. They also teleported the information a distance of half a meter but believe it can be extended further.
