DNA teleportation
DNA Teleportation
DNA teleportation (pronunciation: /diː.eɪ.nəʊ/ /ˌtelɪpɔːˈteɪʃən/) is a theoretical concept in the field of genetics and quantum physics. The term is used to describe the hypothetical process of transferring DNA from one location to another without physical movement.
Etymology
The term "DNA teleportation" is a combination of "DNA", an acronym for deoxyribonucleic acid, and "teleportation", a term derived from the Greek words "tele", meaning "far off", and "portare", meaning "to carry". The concept is largely theoretical and is not widely accepted in the scientific community.
