University press releases need not be peer reviewed so they can get close to saying things that would offend other scientists and get away with it. The key phrase in "the most powerful magnetic field of its kind ever created on Earth" is "of its kind." Creating a many telsa magnetic field has been done in other experiments like with lasers[0], only they are physically smaller in size and last for nanoseconds, it's just of this size, stability and with the high temperature superconductors that makes it special. If the claim is just the magnitude of the field they've already been beat.
