A photon — a tiny sub-atomic particle — was "transported" from the Gobi Desert to China's Micius satellite some 310 miles above the surface.

The Guardian reported it's a new record distance for quantum teleportation, which occurs when the complete properties of one particle are instantaneously transferred to another — in effect teleporting it to a distant location.

The technique has been in use since the 1990s, but it's the first time this has been done from Earth to space over such a long distance.

It's hard to fully comprehend, but the photon wasn't physically transported, Oxford University physicist Ian Walmsley explained to the BBC. Instead, he said the information from one photon on Earth was transferred to a second photon up in the satellite.

"It's certainly a scientific breakthrough," Walmsley said.

The wiki hasn't yet been updated today. It still says "Quantum teleportation was first realized with single photons and later demonstrated with various material systems such as atoms, ions, electrons and superconducting circuits. The record distance for quantum teleportation is 143 km (89 mi)." If you crave a technical summary, the wiki is your most convenient stop to shop. It's doesn't dumb the physics down.
