A quark interaction with topologically nontrivial gluonic fields, instantons and sphalerons, violates \P~ and \CP~ symmetry. In the strong magnetic field of a noncentral nuclear collision such interactions lead to the charge separation along the magnetic field, the so-called chiral magnetic effect (CME). Recent results from the STAR collaboration on …
