Although England's principle of dissipation-driven adaptation I suggests i how life I might i have evolved from non-living matter, it is (so far) not clear if this is the way DNA, RNA and living cells actually did evolve. [Extracted from the article]

For example, the chapter on magnetic field effects has a gentle introduction to Berry's phase, and similar treatments are given of, amongst other matters, itinerant-electron magnetism and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. The static and dynamic mechanical properties of graphene are covered in detail, as are transport properties and spin effects in magnetism. The first chapter on the electronic structure of ideal single and multi-layer graphene sets the scene nicely, and introduces the parallels with massless Fermions that allow parallels to be drawn between some of the physics of graphene and relativistic quantum particles.
