  Heavy-ion collision experiments at RHIC and the LHC have found a new emergent
phase of QCD, a strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (sQGP) that is
distinctively different from either the low temperature hadron phase or the
very high temperature weakly coupled plasma phase. Highly nontrivial emergent
phenomena occur in such sQGP and two examples will be discussed in this
contribution: the magnetic component of sQGP that stems from topologically
nontrivial configurations in the gluon sector; and the anomalous chiral
transport that arises as macroscopic manifestation of microscopic chiral
anomaly in the quark sector. For both examples, their important roles in
explaining pertinent heavy-ion data will be emphasized.
