The following information is about Beryllium.
Beryllium Defined
Beryllium, a metallic element, first isolated in 1828 independently by Friedrich Wohler and Antoine Bussy. The silver-gray, Alkaline-Earth Metal is light, strong, high-melting, and resistant to corrosion. It is used as a window material for X-ray tubes and as a shield and a moderator in nuclear reactors. Element ; Periodic Table.

- Vibrating ions get entangled : Nature News: "Now Jost and his colleagues have succeeded in entangling a property that we are familiar with from everyday experience ? vibrations1. They have entangled two pairs of ions, held about a quarter of a millimetre apart in an ion trap, so that the pairs oscillate in step with each other. In each pair, a beryllium ion was partnered with a magnesium ion. "You can think of them like two balls connected by a spring that vibrate back and forth in unison," says Jost. he first step to achieving these synchronized vibrations relied on standard techniques to entangle the spins of the beryllium ions in each pair. The trick was then to transfer this conventional form of entanglement into the vibration of the ion pairs, using lasers. "Dependin g on its internal spin state, the beryllium ions will absorb certain frequencies of laser light, which excites them and sets them vibrating,&quo t; explains Jost. The two entangled pairs of beryllium and magnesium ions then began to vibrate in lockstep." ;

- Hanford panel seeks more beryllium exposure tests: Too few workers at the Hanford nuclear reservation are being tested for exposure to beryllium, a metal that can cause fatal lung diseases, according to an Energy Department advisory panel. Based on the number of affected workers, beryllium is a greater safety risk at the Eastern Washington complex than radiation, according to Hanford Advisory Board recommendation s issued during meetings Thursday and Friday in Portland, Ore. To date, 4,538 Hanford employees have had blood tests for beryllium sensitivity or disease, and 27 have been diagnosed with chronic beryllium disease, an incurable lung ailment that afflicts workers who develop an allergy-like sensitivity to the light, gray-colored metal. Six of those cases have been diagnosed since 2007.
