I wonder if they would have similar clicks for calling it a 'magnetic flux conduit' or 'magnetic field hose'. I expect using meta-materials for magnetic shielding will be a bigger deal as really strong magnetic fields are needed for things like fusion reactors, but for now its just an interesting validation that you can cloak a magnetic field using meta materials.

Well, the 'hose' came out 2 years ago: http://www.technologyreview.com/view/514201/physicists-build...
Am I correct in saying that this got a "wormhole" label just because the "hose" is shielded??
