Since the turn of the millennium, giant magnetoelectric (ME) effects have been found in laminated composites of piezoelectric and magnetostrictive layers. Compared with ME single phase and two‐phase particulate composites, laminated composites have much higher ME coefficients and are also readily fabricated. Here, we will overview the brief history of ME laminates, discussing some of the important advancements in material couples, laminate configurations, and operational modes that have allowed for dramatic enhancements in the ME voltage and charge coefficients.
