Multiferroics exhibit 10X increased magnetization, 100X increased magnetoelectric coupling, and orders of magnitude reduced energy use

"chips could consume 1/3 global power within decade... bismuth ferrite/ barium titanate alloy both ferroelectric (switchable by electric fields)/ magnetic, but most multiferroics need extreme cold/ weakly couple at room temperature, overcome growing as thin film on strontium titanate substrate that distorts alloy boosting magnetism in ambient conditions... multiferroics handle logic-in-(high-density, low-power, non-volatile)-memory, without heat (resistance) of electrons moving through silicon pathways"
