See, that's the problem with modern science reporting. People are so easily confused.

No. We have never teleported atoms.

We did the equivalent of a fax machine.

We took an atoms current state, sent that information down traditional communication lines, and copied it's state perfectly to another atom.

They call it Quantum Teleportation, but it has nothing to do with Sci-Fi teleportation as most people think of it.
