Teleportation of information
Science item with overpromising headline. The headline claims that these researchers have teleported an actual object, not just a quantum state. From the words you might think they've moved a real molecule or something. Nope. The researchers didn't do that, and they aren't claiming that. They have just entangled or linked the polarization of a laser beam at two nearby locations. Only the headline claims more.
What really caught my interest: Look at the picture of the two physicists. They're the same two dudes who teleported Timmy in a South Park episode.
Art about teleportation teleported to reality about teleportation.
