Ngenxa yokuthi i-beryllium inochungechunge lwezakhiwo eziyigugu, isiphenduke into esemqoka eyigugu kakhulu kumishini yesimanje esezingeni eliphezulu kanye nokuphepha kwezwe.Ngaphambi kweminyaka yawo-1940, i-beryllium yayisetshenziswa njengefasitela le-X-ray kanye nomthombo we-neutron.Kusukela maphakathi nawo-1940 kuya ekuqaleni kwawo-1960, i-beryllium yayisetshenziswa kakhulu emkhakheni wamandla e-athomu.Amasistimu wokuzulazula angenawo amandla afana nemicibisholo ye-ballistic ye-intercontinental asebenzisa i-beryllium gyroscopes okokuqala ngqa ngo-2008, ngaleyo ndlela avule insimu ebalulekile yezicelo ze-beryllium;kusukela ngawo-1960, izinkambu eziyinhloko zokufaka izicelo ezisezingeni eliphezulu ziphendukele endaweni ye-aerospace, esetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza izingxenye ezibalulekile zezimoto ze-aerospace.
I-Beryllium kuma-reactors enuzi
Ukukhiqizwa kwe-beryllium ne-beryllium alloys kwaqala ngawo-1920.Phakathi neMpi Yezwe Yesibili, imboni ye-beryllium yathuthuka ngendlela engakaze ibonwe ngenxa yesidingo sokwakha ama-reactors enuzi.I-Beryllium inengxenye enkulu ye-neutron ehlakazekayo yesiphambano kanye nengxenye encane yokumuncwa, ngakho ifaneleka njengesibonisi kanye nomengameli weziqhumane ze-nuclear nezikhali zenuzi.Nokwakhiwa kwezinhloso zenuzi ku-nuclear physics, ucwaningo lwemithi yenuzi, i-X-ray kanye ne-scintillation counter probes, njll.;amakristalu e-beryllium eyodwa angasetshenziswa ukwenza i-neutron monochromators, njll.
