The little-known science that improved everything around us

Crystallography is the study of crystalline solids to understand how the atoms inside the solids are arranged. Normally this involves firing a beam of X-rays at a sample and recording the pattern of those scattered X-rays. From the interpretation of these patterns we can deduce information about the way atoms are arranged in a solid. By understanding the atomic arrangement we can interpret the properties these solids display and hopefully improve upon them. Single crystals (like a single grain of salt or sugar) scatter a single beam of X-rays as many well-divided beams that can be recorded as a series of spots on an X-ray sensitive plate.

GLASS

Mercurial magma,

sand,

lime and soda

                cool

into a vitreous

solid,

the most viscous,

                fluid,

a virtual liquid,

thick

enough to seem rigid:

fragile language.

Glass represents 

a poetic element

exiled

to a borderline

between states of matter:

breakable water

not yet frozen,

yet unpourable.
