Beryllium is the fourth element in the periodic table. It comes right after lithium and before boron. It's a metal that looks like aluminum but is lighter and stronger. In ceramic form, beryllium ...

Metals on the west wing of the periodic table—the s-block elements—almost never form double bonds, because of the meager capacity of their s orbitals. Now, a team led by Robert J. Gilliard Jr. of the ...

The Pacific seafloor laid down around 10 million years ago is dramatically enriched in beryllium-10, compared to older and younger layers. The geologists who discovered this spike propose it could be ...

Chronic berylliosis is an uncommon disease that is caused by the inhalation of beryllium particles, dust, or fumes. The distinction between chronic berylliosis and sarcoidosis can be difficult both ...

Beryllium oxide ceramics exhibit excellent insulating properties, with a resistivity at room temperature comparable to that of aluminum nitride (10¹⁵-10¹⁷ Ω·m). The stability of its crystal structure ...
