This is the current situation despite the potential for other piezoelectric polymers, such as natural biopolymers, to bring unique, added-value properties and functions to magnetoelectric composite devices. Here we demonstrate a cellulose-based magnetoelectric laminate composite that produces considerable magnetoelectric coefficients of \u22481.5\u2009V\u2009cm<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\u2009Oe<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>, comprising a Fano resonance that is ubiquitous in the field of physics, such as photonics, though never experimentally observed in magnetoelectric composites. The work successfully demonstrates the concept of exploring new advances in using biopolymers in magnetoelectric composites, particularly cellulose, which is increasingly employed as a renewable, low-cost, easily processable and degradable material.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-017-00034-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,21]],"date-time":"2017-06-21T16:23:34Z","timestamp":1498062214000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Cellulose-based magnetoelectric composites"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Yan","family":"Zong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Tian","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"S.","family":"Lanceros-Mendez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Zhilian","family":"Yue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Michael J.","family":"Higgins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"34_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Landau, L.
