Teleportation

Leicester University graduate students have published a paper on teleportation in the university’s Journal of Physics Special Topics. Every human that is teleported will need to be represented in transferable data, say the students. At a basic level, the transferable data of a human would be represented by the DNA pairs that make up genomes (which ...
