Moire superlattices in two dimensional semiconductors have enabled the observation of a wealth of phenomena driven by strong electronic correlations, ranging from Mott-Wigner states to quantum anomalous Hall effect. In this talk, I will describe two recent experiments: the first experiment provides direct evidence for itinerant magnetism with a kinetic origin in topologically trivial moire bands. The second experiments demonstrates optical orientation of topological order in fractionally filled moire Chern bands.
