That article is a completely different kind of "very strong". Our "very strong" is a 1-2 Tesla, the strength of a high end neodymium magnet. Levitation is about 10x higher than that but in practical terms, it's not really that different from holding a big magnet to your face. It does not affect any significant chemical reactions. This article is talking about fields so high that chemistry fundamentally breaks down and matter breaks into individual atoms. This only happens in neutron stars. It's 1,000x stronger than any field made by humans and 10,000x stronger than levitation fields. At these fields the atoms literally change shape.
