U-M takes first step towards teleportation

Xavier Vlad, who heads up the Center for Advanced Material Irradiation, describes an experimental oddity: one test sample vanished from the vacuum chamber at the end of an ion beam line and appeared in a separate chamber in a different area of the lab. Dare we call it teleportation?

ABOUT THE PROFESSOR: Xavier Vlad is a professor of Material Irradiation at the University of Michigan College of Engineering. His research group, the Composition Analysis Lab (CAL), uses ion beams to probe the structure and composition of materials.

This video was published on April 1, 2013 as an April Fools joke. The content is fictional.

the thing that bugs me is that he just said "ah guess what it worked" if it was me I would have said "OMG IT FRICKEN WORKED"

If you go to their website, Michigan Engineering and type in teleport key it will take you to the original article, it was an April Fool's Joke, what a bummer!

On a similar note i once read the military used Nikola Tesla to try to teleport a navy people got merged to the ships walls and else can back this up?

If the government knew how to teleport objects, even inanimate, they would not present this information to the public for national security

[yungshinobi]

I trust this man because his name is Xavier

[takagienterprises]

Maybe I should enroll at Michigan and get a degree in science fiction!!

"For April Fool’s Day, the College of Engineering produced a video stating that Materials Science Prof. Xavier Vlad had found a way to teleport a small key from one end of a machine to the other."

this was 7 years ago imagine it today it will be lot better

Well, just what you would expect (att 11:59 pm on March 31)

Why would a top research university publish an april fools joke? it's even on the university site.

This is likely possible.... only metal objects are potential to be teleported.... through quantum entanglement or also known as the "Spooky Effect". So this machine shoots high energy particles that converts matter into energy and then since E=Mc2... energy equals matter... i can see how they may have built a machine to do the reverse. Interesting

I read that this is just one of the yearly April Fools Day videos from the University of Michigan School of Engineering

scotty im locked out beam down the key

[aussjlink]

Well for all the other teleportation vids on YT this one is a lot more believable, hopefully if it is it is well focused on and developed.

Stick a mouse in there and turn it on.

Esto es impresionante.
Podemos teletransportar cosas grandes a la luna.
Se utiliza cables, solo falta inalámbrico.

Esto es un avance grandísimo,
Así como empezamos con cables, al rato ya no habrá cables.
Solo una máquina en un lugar y la otra en otro lugar.

[vorziero]

my teleportation experience is when my stuff i looking for, it founded when i said "Mom, where is my stuff??!" and the thing is appears
Mom: There (right in my eyes) .
Me: Oh wait, there?! hmm*goosebumps*

[BALtimore]

That and time travel will eventually become possible. This is the future.

We know it's real because the camera does not stay on continually throughout the process.

Oh SHIT! Now Alex Jones is gonna be up all night worrying about this little April Fools joke!
