"These moiré crystals provided an ideal setting to observe Hofstadter's spectrum when subjecting electrons moving in them to a magnetic field ... one had ever actually visualized this beautiful ...

When the Earth’s magnetic field is strong, as it is today, the amount of carbon generated by this interaction is relatively low, but it spikes when the magnetic field weakens and allows more ...
