"coupled ferro- magnetic/ electric properties only coexist at cryogenic temperatures, limiting use in consumer devices... overcome shifting atoms between 2D lattice stacked layers creating permanent internal charge imbalance preserving room temperature coupling... almost 0 power, ultra-dense, non-volatile magnetoelectric memory chips that could revolutionize future semiconductor computing architectures"
