Welcome to the good news ride home for Wednesday, July 1st, 2020. I'm Jackson Bird.

Physicists give us the lowdown on human teleportation.

Some tips for taking actually impressive photos of fireworks this weekend.

The nuns moonlighting as bartenders in Milwaukee, what works and what doesn't

for keeping mosquitoes away, and the Catmine National Park Bear Cam is officially back.

Here are some of the cool things from the news today.

With risks of transmission inherent in just about all forms of travel right now, I have found myself thinking even more than usual that it sure would be nice if teleportation existed.

The folks at Gizmodo had a similar thought and asked the experts how likely they think it is that will ever see teleportation for real.

Stephen Olmshank, an associate professor of astronomy and physics at Dineson University,

suggests that the key may lie in quantum teleportation.

Quoting Professor Olmshank in Gizmodo,

quantum teleportation, using the features of quantum physics to teleport information

stored in quantum mechanical systems, is a real phenomenon that has been demonstrated by experiments

on small scales, like pairs of trapped atoms, and has important applications in quantum information

and quantum computing. While he says that quantum teleportation could perhaps be used on larger objects,

even as large as, say, a person, he says there are several caveats that would make

actually teleporting a human very difficult and quite messy.
