A cloaking device from off-the-shelf superconductors and magnetic tape

Ars Technica reports about a "cloaking" technique under relatively simple laboratory conditions. As stated the real achievement of the experiment is: producing magnetic masking with relatively inexpensive components, as opposed to previous cloaks that require exotic materials and often much colder temperatures.
It is not ductape with some icecream yet but it is a real step forward.
