We present, for the first time, an atomic-level and quantitative study of a strain-induced pseudomagnetic field in graphene nanoribbons with widths of hundreds of nanometers. We show that twisting strongly affects the band structures of graphene nanoribbons with arbitrary chirality and generates well-defined pseudo-Landau levels, which mimics the quantization of massive Dirac fermions in a magnetic field up to 160 T. Electrons are localized either at ribbon edges forming the edge current or at the ribbon center forming the snake orbit current, both being valley polarized. Our result paves the way for the design of new graphene-based nanoelectronics.
