Presentation of PIBIC project – Pedro Carneiro

The Solid State, however, kept its grains
Of Microstructure coarsely veiled until
X-ray diffraction pierced the Crystal Planes
That roofed the giddy Dance, the taut Quadrille
Where Silicon and Carbon Atoms will
Link Valencies, four-figured, hand in hand
With common Ions and Rare Earths to fill
The lattices of Matter, Glass or Sand,
With tiny Excitations, quantitatively grand.
-from "The Dance of solids", by John Updike
(Midpoint and Other Poems, Alfred A. Knopf, 1969)
