Electrostatically defined quantum dots in graphene constitute a testbed to study atomic and molecular physics in the ultrarelativistic regime—when the particle speed is close to the speed of light. Magnetic-field-dependent tunnelling spectroscopy experiments now reveal giant orbital magnetic moments and paramagnetic shifts in single and double quantum dots due to their relativistic nature.
