I remember the old Dick Tracy funny papers. Diet Smith used to travel around in his magnetic powered space ship. I think that is where he found the “Moon Maid”.

Taking a novel approach, we've created a new magnetic state in bismuth ferrite along with the ability to electrically control this magnetism at room temperature Wonder how this fits in with bismuth being the most strongly diamagnetic naturally occurring element.
Always been interested in diamagnetic properties of certain substances.

I don’t see the immediate benefit here, perhaps scaled down size of the binary digit decreases initial energy required. If so, long term storage is still a problem. Not to mention production costs.
