Scientists Just Teleported an Object into Space for the First Time
- holstvoogd 7y agoInaccessible, probably due to adblocker or being in the EU.
- itsadblocker 7y agoMust be your adblocker. It’s accessible to me in holland.
- bobwaycott 7y agoAble to read it with adblocker active while in France (on mobile). > A team of researchers in China sent a photon from the ground to an orbiting satellite more than 300 miles above through a process known as quantum entanglement, according to MIT Technology Review. It’s the farthest distance tested so far in teleportation experiments, the researchers said. Their work was published online on the open access site arXiv. > For about a month, the scientists beamed up millions of photons from their ground station in Tibet to the low-orbiting satellite. They were successful in more than 900 cases.

- Fjolsvith 7y agoWell, it'll work once we figure out how to convert an atom or molecule into a photon and back.

- ebcode 7y agono, they didn't; but they did redefine the definition of teleportation. > Teleportation is the theoretical transfer of matter or energy from one point to another without traversing the physical space between them. ... [1] if they teleported anything, it was information, not matter or energy. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleportation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleportation
