For non-organic items, it MIGHT be, but even then, they have to be made of a certain material or otherwise they will implode do to the disassembling and reassembling of molecules. If I recall correctly, someone had purportedly done this on a microscopic level with energy or electricity, but I can't remember where this happened. Personally, I doubt it will ever happen, due to the complexities involved of scanning, disassembling, and reassembling of atoms. An organic object could not survive being torn apart like that, not even for a nano-second, and I don't think it will ever be possible to teleport or have a teleporting machine, such as seen in Star Trek, etc. For something other than an organic or inanimate object, it MIGHT be possible to do this with energy.

It will always be impossible unless we solve one very fundamental problem, and that is :
The primary reason we cannot do this right now is because we cannot know the very precise location of any atom at any given point in time, therefore, we also do not know the location of the electron within the eletron cloud.
To complicate matters even further, we have some atomic particles that appear to be in two places at one time, we can tell where atoms have been but cannot know where they are.

I do not think we will ever be able to disassmble propperly, only reproduce using other forms of matter and altering the atomic structure in the reproduction process- making a copy, par se.

Not at the moment. And not likely in the future. It is because any disassembly of matter is likely to result in a nuclear reaction first. Then one would have to transport that radioactive mass to another location, somehow receive it then reassemble that material.

Star Trek also has sound in space. Just take it from there. Live long and prosper.
