Abstract: The duality between electric and magnetic dipoles in electromagnetism only partly applies to condensed matter. In particular, the elementary excitations of the magnetic and ferroelectric orders, namely magnons and ferrons, respectively, have received asymmetric attention from the condensed matter community in the past. In this perspective, we introduce and summarize the current state of the budding field of "ferronics" and speculate about its potential applications in thermal, information, and communication technology.
