"5 volt non-volatile control... ferroelectric thin film on top of a 2D magnet flake and then applied a voltage to it. In their experiments, they specifically used the 2D magnetic insulator chromium germanium telluride (Cr2Ge2Te6) and the ferroelectric polymer P(VDF-TrFE)... energy-efficient spintronic memories and logic devices, compact magneto-electric or magneto-optical devices, biosensors for the early detection of diseases, or food sensors for spoilage/freshness monitoring"
