As i ve read before scientists have managed to teleport an electron over a very short distance.
Does the process involve disintegrating the electron into smaller parts and then reconstructing again?
I need to know what are these 'smaller parts' and how this process of disintegration goes about???

No they did not teleport a physical electron. It was only a quantum state which has no matter associated with it. That's a BIG difference.

I believe they are not actually transporting the physical part of the electron as much as the information of the electron and reproducing it on the other end.

Quantum states are transferred.
