This isn't two magnets. It's one magnet and a sapphire wafer coated in yttrium barium copper oxide and cooled down to -301ºF. Read here:

It is pretty useless really as you can't easily keep an object super-cooled. This isn't new either, it was discovered in 1911. I think I first learned about it in high school.
