 Description The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a non-dissipative electric current that might emerge as a result from an imbalance of chirality associated with a magnetic background in the quark-gluon plasma. Despite over a decade of efforts, to define unambiguous observables of the CME in heavy ion collisions turned out to be a hard task. On the other hand, with the discovery of Dirac and Weyl semimetals in condensed matter, where the quasiparticles behave relativistic-like, a link between high energy physics and condensed matter was constructed and an analog of the CME was clearly observed in (3+1)D Dirac/Weyl materials. In this talk I present a new mechanism to generate an anomalous Quantum Hall Effect in two-dimensional materials, inspired by the CME. Promising candidates that may intrinsically harbour this (topologically protected) effect are also presented.
