Scientists Create Star Trek-like Teleporter: Can 'Scotty' Really Beam You Up?

Don't you wish you could beat the rush hour traffic or be on time for meetings by merely beaming up from one place to another? Wouldn't it be so much more convenient to order items online and receive them in one go? Though human teleportation is still far from reality, sending items from one place to another has become closer to our reach.

The Hasso Plattner Institute in Germany has developed a computer-generated teleporting system aptly named "Scotty" after the chief engineer of Star-Treks Starship Enterprise.
