A nanopatterned hybrid layer is designed , wherein the electric polarization can be flipped at room temperature by a magnetic field aided by an electrical field. This is achieved by embedding ferromagnetic nanopillars in a continuous organic ferroelectric layer, and amplifying the magnetostriction‐generated stress gradients by scaling down the supracrystalline cell of the material.
