beryllium
Lightweight aerospace metal
Beryllium is a lightweight metallic element, atomic number 4, used in alloys and aerospace applications for its stiffness and resistance to heat.
Beryllium copper is prized for tools that won't spark.
The element is toxic when inhaled as dust, making its industrial handling hazardous.
