We compare beryllium to H+ and show that beryllium can displace H+ in many "strong hydrogen bonds" where Be as a "tetrahedral proton" (O-Be-O angle is tetrahedral as opposed to the nearly linear O-H-O angle) is thermodynamically preferred. The strong
The pseudo-gap phenomenon in copper oxide superconductors is central to any description of these materials as it prefigures the superconducting state itself. A magnetic intra-unit-cell order was found to occur just at the pseudo-gap temperature in four cuprate high-Tc superconducting

Control of workplace exposure to beryllium is a growing issue in the United States and other nations. As the health risks associated with low-level exposure to beryllium are better understood, the need increases for improved analytical techniques both in the
Thin films comprising semiconductor nanocrystals are emerging for applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices including light emitting diodes and solar cells. Achieving high charge carrier mobility in these films requires the identification and elimination of electronic traps on the nanocrystal

The potential carcinogenicity of beryllium has been a topic of study since the mid-1940s. Since then, numerous scientific and regulatory bodies have assigned beryllium to various categories with respect to its carcinogenicity. Past epidemiologic and animal studies, however, have been
