Deep Sea Beryllium Spike Shows Something Big Happened 10 Million Years Ago, But What? At least three explanations are under consideration, each of which could have dramatically reshaped planetary ...

Beryllium, a chemical element with the symbol Be, is a lightweight, strong, and highly corrosion-resistant metal. Its exceptional properties, such as high thermal stability, electrical ...

The registry tracks the incidence and prevalence of beryllium sensitization and chronic beryllium disease. In an effort to further advance efforts to monitor the health of workers exposed to beryllium ...

All the oxygen in your body is thanks to magic numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

By using data from higher-energy experiments that we can do on Earth, this new method helps to more precisely determine how often beryllium-7 fuses with protons to create boron-8 at the sun’s ...

The new protocol gives scientists a better tool for determining the rate of fusion of protons with beryllium-7 at low energy using data from experiments conducted at higher energy.

Most of the energy from the sun and other stars comes from a chain of nuclear fusion reactions. The end of this chain is marked by the fusion of protons with beryllium-7 to form boron-8. This ...
