Nature : Materials that combine ferroic properties—such as ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity —are highly desirable, but rare. A new class of multiferroic solids heralds a fresh approach for making such materials.Multiferroics are attractive candidates for use in electrically controllable microwave elements, magnetic-field sensors and possibly even in spintronics.
