Science is cool

Two new claims of Star Trek science have made the news. First, Danish scientist have teleported both light and matter about a foot and half. Their efforts represent the first successful teleportation of a macroscopic object. Second, a team of US researchers have developed a cloaking mechanism that renders objects nearly invisible. While promising, neither technology has a practical application yet but this is still super cool.

Let's hope that phasers are just around the corner.
