I found it odd that they call it high-temperature, but then perform all their experiments at 4.2 K. Also, at 4.2 K, the magnet performs worse than established Nb-Ti technology, so it doesn't seem to be a significant advancement.

don't MRI machines run at temps around 4-5K?

Yes, they operate at 4.2 K (liquid helium temperature).
