Comments from Nergaal

 * Just a quick comment: the article has lots of one-sentence (or two) paragraphs, and quite a few without references. Nergaal (talk) 14:29, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

 * The naming of Glucinium, Glucinum by Vauquelin did not take place in the first publication, which has to be included, but in a later one. I somewhere read that the name was suggested by the editor.
 * The original publication of Bussy should also be included. Which can be found in this google book:
 * fluorescent material for fluorescent lights sounds nice, but what is it. zinc beryllium silicate
 * The subsection Magnetic_resonance_imaging#Projectile_or_missile_effect does no longer exist
 * Fix it. F R E  Y W A  00:46, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Comments from Materialscientist
The prose is shaky. I went through the first two paras and will go further when time permits. Whoever can copyedit this topic (for flow, clarity, repetitions, wlinks, etc.) please do. Materialscientist (talk) 05:16, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Beryllium 9 Positron emission
In the May, 1985 National Geographic magazine (Worlds within the atom article) it says that the Fermi reactor in Chicago gets positrons for acceleration testing from EO4Be9. I think that this is worthy of note in the Beryllium article, and maybe with an explanation of how this is accomplished.WFPM (talk) 20:49, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The reference and the fact are there, it is worthy of inclusion. F R E  Y W A  07:20, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't find any other contribution Re a positron emission by EO4Be9. And it is interesting because the result would be the creation of an atom of OE3Li9, which is a very unstable neutron emitter, with a much higher mass excess value, (40939 vs 11348 Kev) and indicating the existence of an unexplained method of pushing these light isotopes uphill energetically without further explanation.WFPM (talk) 13:42, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
