Magnetoelectric coupling, where magnetic and electronic order is linked, allows for the control of magnetism via an electric field and vice versa, potentially offering new approaches to data storage, sensors, actuators and wealth of other devices. Here, using a diverse array of experimental probes, Xu et al show the emergence of both diagonal and off-diagonal magnetoelectric coupling in CoTe6O13.
