After reading the article, and doing a little digging on this I can confidently say this article is utter garbage. You can look up the patent application on this, it’s something to do with electrostatic forces which is a well known area of physics. Nothing magical about it.

For anyone curious, someone was kind enough to post the summary of the patent in this thread https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=60131.0
Did anyone claim it was magic?
The article author claimed it was some undiscovered force in physics, so kinda yeah. It’s completely misrepresenting what it is.
But an undiscovered force is not magic either. However, I understand what you’re saying now.
It’s just a metaphor…
Oh.
