From Slashdot -- Physicists Propose New Kind of Quantum Tunneling --

[...] scientists from the UK and Germany are proposing a third kind of quantum tunneling. They propose that a quantum particle is capable of changing into a pair of "virtual particles" capable of passing through a potential barrier before changing back. The supposition also provides some interesting methods of possibly testing string theory. [...]

Check out them Wikipedia links - very interesting if you take the time to RTFM the fundamentals.  Once again, technology is neutral, and can be used for both liberty and tyranny.  I for one am happy it may be possible to haul my ass away from Earth and all the idiots that live here FTL (faster than (the speed of) light)...
