Teleportation is as close (or as far away) as it's always been -- theoretically, in our minds. The stuff in this new scientist article doesn't sound any different than the stuff my old roommates were talking about in 1986. (Yes I was in high school - but they were chemistry graduate students at CAL.)
It's still nice to see these ideas in print in a popular magazine. Beam me up Scotty!
