	A lightweight, gray metallic element. Beryllium was discovered in 1797 by Nicholas Vauquelin and later isolated in 1828. Metallic beryllium is the lightest structural metal known. Similar to [[aluminum]], it is fabricated by rolling and machining. Beryllium metal is used for aircraft and satellites. It is highly permeable to [[x-ray\|x-rays]]. It is also used for transmission windows on x-ray detectors. Beryllium is also alloyed with copper, aluminum, or nickel to increase their conductivity.		A lightweight, gray metallic element.
