Has a University of Michigan researcher uncovered the 'key' to teleportation?
By Kellie Woodhouse
A University of Michigan researcher appears to have uncovered the key to teleportation.
Or wait... has he?
Joining in on the fun of April Fool's Day, Michigan Engineering produced this almost-believable video.
A number of similar pranks have been circling the web today include the announcement of Google Nose and cats joining the U.S. Army.
What is the best prank you've seen so far today? Tell us in the comments below.

I noticed Kate McAlpine in the credits. She's done some fun (if you're a geek) videos on the workings of scientific equipment. Check her out on YouTube, she's "alpinekat."

I saw one on Facebook! It is the "USDA new 2013 food pyramid". The dairy space has Milk Duds and Milky Way. The Protein space has Snickers, Payday, Reeses, Almond Joy. Fruits & veg tables has Jelly beans, jujufruits, raisinettes, caramel apples. The grains space has Craker Jack, Kit Kat, Twix, Nestle Crunch.

Shame on you. April Fools jokes do not belong here.

Just when I thought that UM had solved the annoying problem of physically carrying keys around the lab, you tell me it's an April Fool joke!
