Optics get magnetic powers

For decades, scientists have studied a class of materials called multiferroics in which static electric and magnetic structures are coupled to each other. This allows capabilities such as controlling magnetic order with electric fields instead of magnetic ones, making it easier to build devices such as sensors and computer memory. ...
