You could be talking about one of two things, here. Either you're
talking about the work of Guenter Nimtz -- who genuinely claims to have
actually sent information faster than light, although the results of his
work are in dispute and have not been reproduced in other experiments --
or plain old quantum tunnelling, where you can talk about "phase
velocity" being greater than c, but what counts for transmitting
information is group velocity, which is always less than c.
