"B-doping boron into magnetoelectric chromium oxide controls magnetic fields, quantum material whose magnetic states altered above-room temperature by electronic means alone... antiferromagnetism: alternating columns of atoms whose poles point in opposite directions and effectively cancel each other out, yielding virtually no magnetic field... overcomes need for room-temperatures and symmetry-breaking applied magnetic field... faster, energy efficient digital memory and processors"
