Nature Reviews Physics, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s42254-026-00944-7 2D van der Waals multiferroics, with their coupled magnetic and electric orders and their reduced dimensionality, offer great opportunities for low-power magnetoelectric devices. This Review moves beyond conventional probing techniques and advocates for cross-probing technologies to identify intrinsic multiferroicity in these atomically thin materials.
