Scientists Have Done Something...

...But I am not quite sure what.

I am fairly certain that teleportation is now more than a mere theoretical possibility.

Yet I also know that:

"The method [of "teleportation" currently being used - and described in the link above] is not particularly practical at the moment, because it fails almost all of the time. Only 1 of every 100 million teleportation attempts succeed, requiring 10 minutes to transfer one bit of quantum information."

(Emphasis added).

Is this even newsworthy then? Maybe not, but I am intrigued.

Are you joking? This is HUGE! This is exactly what I was waiting for! Now that I know teleportation is possible, I feel completely comfortable performing self surgery and giving myself that set of adamantium claws I've always wanted!
