Mott insulators have surprised us many times by hosting new and diverse quantum phenomena when the frozen electrons are perturbed by various stimuli. Superconductivity, metal-insulator transition, and colossal magnetoresistance induced by element substitution, pressure, and magnetic field are prominent examples. Here we report a novel phenomenon, namely giant diamagnetism, in the Mott insulator Ca2RuO4 induced by electric current. With application of 1 A/cm2 current, the strongest diamagnetism among all nonsuperconducting materials is induced as the system is tuned to a semimetallic state. The origin lies in the emergence of indirect Dirac cones in the many-body spectrum and associated monopole-like anomaly in the momentum dependent susceptibility. This record-breaking and switchable diamagnetism is a new class of non-equilibrium quantum phenomena on the verge of Mott insulating states.
