Teleportation is a concept the world been pondering for years and now Russia wants to make that dream a reality within the next 20 years.
According to the Telegraph, a multitrillion-pound development programme has been put forward and aims to create technology that will allow people to transport from one place to another.
The Star Trek-esque teleportation device appears in the National Technology Initiative, a state-sponsored plan designed to develop hi-tech solutions in a number of key areas – the cybernetics market being one of them.
The $2.1 trillion (£1.4 trillion) proposition, which was drawn up for Vladimir Putin, pledges to create other weird and wonderful technologies, including a neural interface between human brains and computers.
A Russian computing programming language, secure cyber communications and quantum computing are also on the list of devices to be designed by 2035.
