Remember the teleporter in Star Trek? Nothing that cool, but amazing nonetheless.
Until now, scientists have teleported similar objects, such as light or single atoms, over short distances from one spot to another in a split second.
But Professor Eugene Polzik and his team at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have made a breakthrough by using both light and matter.
"It is one step further because, for the first time, it involves teleportation between light and matter, two different objects. One is the carrier of information and the other one is the storage medium," Polzik explained in an interview on Wednesday.
