Scientists teleport two different objects

Especially since they didn't "teleport two different objects".
They "teleported" information from one object to another.
Why they call this "teleporting" instead of "transmitting" is unclear,
other than it's what gets the headlines.
It's called "teleporting" because it involves moving the quantum state
of an object from one place to another. There is classical transmission
of information involved, but the result of the entire process is
indistinguishable from sci-fi teleportation.
