Multiferroics: the two-in-one crystals that could revolutionise data-storage

Figure 1. Relationship between magnetically and electrically polarizable materials (showing the multiferroic and magnetoelectric subsets). [6] Picture a house where one light-switch simultaneously flips on the lamps and starts your playlist. Handy, right? Nature has built an atomic-scale version of that trick — it’s called a multiferroic crystal. Flick an electric field and the crystal’s […]
