What's REALLY going on with this?

This (wormhole) consists of a tunnel that transfers the magnetic field from one point to the other while keeping it undetectable -- invisible -- all the way...
The researchers used metamaterials and metasurfaces to build the tunnel ..

It is not a wormhole, they made a transport medium with meta stuff.

Similar to a wire that we use to transport the electric field, but now we can transport the magnetic field too.

"So Fred, what if we call this wire a wormhole, wouldn't that give it much more attention?"

Exactly, this is an attention getting headline. Later in the article there is a more truthful assessment (highlight added):

A wormhole is effectively just a tunnel that connects two places in the Universe. So far scientists have simulated this process, but are nowhere near creating a gravitational wormhole, as it would require us to create huge amounts of gravitational energy - something we don't yet know how to do.
