allotrope
Be

A rare, ultra-lightweight metal used in aerospace and high-tech alloys

← Allotrope of Beryllium

Lighter than aluminium yet stiffer than steel, beryllium's crystal lattice underpins some of the most demanding engineering in aerospace.

A crystalline allotrope of Beryllium (space group P6_3/mmc), sourced from the Crystallography Open Database (COD 9012036).
