ACTIONS proposes a material-based concept to drastically reduce the energy consumption of magnet-based micro- and nanotechnologies. Magnetic systems offer unique advantages for actuation in miniature fluidic and robotic systems, but their integration is hindered because electromagnets are required to create time-varying magnetic fields, causing joule energy loss and heat effects. Alternative control of magnetic materials using an electric field instead of electric current would present an energy-efficient solution. However, established magnetoelectric effects are small and restricted to low temperature or high voltage. Recently, we have demonstrated low-voltage control of magnetic films in…
