It's interesting how several other research groups have done the same - gone "yup, replicated", then followed up with a retraction not long after.

There's also a paper floating around in which the phenomenon is explained, and the author posits you could do it with normal (strong) ferrite magnets.

If I were wearing my tin-foil-hat, today...
