Chirality is a ubiquitous concept in modern science, from particle physics to biology. In quantum physics, chirality of fermions is linked to topology of gauge fields by the chiral anomaly. While the chiral anomaly is usually associated…

In an electron-positron plasma, an imbalance in the number of right- and left-chiral particles can lead to the growth of a helical magnetic field through a phenomenon called the chiral plasma instability (CPI). In the early universe,…
We show that in decaying hydromagnetic turbulence with initial kinetic helicity, a weak magnetic field eventually becomes fully helical. The sign of magnetic helicity is opposite to that of the kinetic helicity - regardless of whether or…
We derive an electric current density $j_{em}$ in the presence of a magnetic field $B$ and a chiral chemical potential $\mu_5$. We show that $j_{em}$ has not only the anomaly-induced term $\propto \mu_5 B$ (i.e. Chiral Magnetic Effect) but…
