Maybe not the actual referenced article, but its close:

https://www.livescience.com/black-hole-analog-confirms-hawking.html

While the study was testing for a specific kind of energy radiated by an artificial micro black hole...

What's being glossed over is the broad concept and implications of Hawking Radiation.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation

Simply put, a tiny micro black hole will evaporate itself out of existence quite rapidly.

There is no danger of such a thing growing and consuming everything like an expanding katamari damacy ball.
