Talu ai ona o le beryllium o loʻo i ai se faasologa o mea taua, ua avea ma mea taua tele i mea faʻaonaponei faʻaonaponei ma le saogalemu o le atunuʻu.Aʻo leʻi oʻo i le 1940s, sa faʻaaogaina le beryllium e fai ma faʻamalama X-ray ma se punavai neutron.Mai le ogatotonu o le 1940 i le amataga o le 1960, sa masani ona faʻaaogaina le beryllium i le fanua o le malosi atomika.Inertial navigation systems e pei ole intercontinental ballistic missiles na faʻaaogaina beryllium gyroscopes mo le taimi muamua i le 2008, ma faʻapea ona tatalaina ai se vaega taua o talosaga beryllium;talu mai le 1960s, o fanua talosaga maualuga maualuga ua liliu atu i le malae vaalele, lea e faʻaaogaina e gaosia ai vaega taua o taʻavale aerospace.
Beryllium i reactors faaniukilia
O le gaosiga o le beryllium ma le beryllium alloys na amata i le 1920s.I le taimi o le Taua Lona Lua a le Lalolagi, o le gaosiga o le beryllium na atiina ae e leʻi tupu muamua ona o le manaʻoga e fausia ni mea faaniukilia.Beryllium o loʻo i ai se vaega faʻasalalau tele neutron faʻasalalau ma se vaega faʻafefeteina laʻititi, o lea e talafeagai e avea o se reflector ma moderator mo reactors faaniukilia ma auupega faaniukilia.Ma mo le gaosiga o sini faaniukilia i le fisiki faaniukilia, suʻesuʻega vailaʻau faaniukilia, X-ray ma suʻesuʻega faʻataʻitaʻi, ma isi;beryllium tioata tasi e mafai ona faʻaaogaina e fai ai neutron monochromators, ma isi.
