Control magnetic order with electric fields is of critical importance for spintronic devices, however, for certain material classes, such as van der Waals magnets, it is challenging. Here, Huang et al propose a spin-electric potential arising from polar spin interactions between differing constituent van der Waals magnets, which enables the electric field switching of spin orders.
