Big data and exponential demands for computations are driving an unsustainable rise in global ICT energy use. A new study reviews the use of the ‘multiferroic’ material bismuth-ferrite, which allows for low-energy switching in data storage devices and could be applied in a future generation of ultra-low-energy electronics.
