FYI for anyone wondering, that's a clickbait title; it's high-temperature superconducting magnetic tape. And by high-temperature we mean:\

HTS materials operate in a range of 20 to 77 kelvins (around –200 to –250 °C). That’s still cold, but it’s much warmer than what’s needed for typical superconductors, which can only function at temperatures close to absolute zero.

But hey, even regular sticky tape is still better than a screwdriver.
