Only temporarily. After a fraction of a second the dampening isn't strong enough anymore to prevent the two from entering into contact.

I can't deboonk it from what I can see. It would be interesting if it zoomed out to show the environment this was occurring in.

Expect the first iterations of that material to not actually hold currents well in a long (macroscopic) distance and create much weaker magnets than one would expect from a random superconductor.

But it's also a surprise for theoreticians, and I guess the mechanism is very prone to improvement.
