University of Geneva's Group of Applied Physics has apparently given her all she's got, developing a prototype of an actual teleporter. So far, the physicists have been able to teleport a single photon over four miles. The next step: teleporting an entire molecule, and then on from there. We shall see.
At best, such a device, if modified to transport human beings, could save us from risky situations involving alien life; at worst, we could end up being Mike Teevee'd to a fraction of our actual size. My own guess is that the first efforts to teleport will have mixed results, perhaps akin to those which take place at about the two minute mark in the video below.
