found this cool research paper on "magnetoelectric nonlinear metamaterial" which means material's that can convert fluctuating mangetic pulses into volatage in a way that doesnt require crazy amounts of power (the "nonlinear" part)

possibly enabling human interface devices that talk directly to nerons within the brain!

possible use cases

feeding data back into a human brain. allowing sensory extention devices as described in david eagleman's book livewear

Rice-engineered material can reconnect severed nerves

Rice neuroengineers designed the first self-rectifying magnetoelectric material and showed it can not only precisely stimulate neurons remotely but also reconnect a broken sciatic nerve in a rat model.
