Reminds me of solid-state theory of life's origin, described by Robert Becker in his "Body Electric" book.
It proposes that life came from semiconducting crystals (various rocks and sediments in the ocean of hot primordial soup) affected by electrical discharges from ionosphere, and that right-hand chirality of isomers was influenced by Earth's magnetic field in Precambrea era.
