Technology Research News February 12, 2003 Eric Smalley	Teleportation goes the distance Teleportation makes it possible to transmit the quantum states, or structural information, of photons from one place to another. And making photons from one location materialize at another without traveling the distance between opens the way for sending messages long distances.
