This is due to the lack of sufficient time during the Big Bang's nucleosynthesis phase to produce carbon by the fusion of 4He nuclei and the very low concentrations of available beryllium-8.

The British astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle first showed that the energy levels of 8Be and 12C allow carbon production by the so-called triple-alpha process in helium-fueled stars where more nucleosynthesis time is available, thus making creation of carbon-based life possible from the gas and dust ejected by supernovas

(see also Big Bang nucleosynthesis).[8]

The innermost electrons of beryllium may contribute to chemical bonding. Therefore, when 7Be decays by electron capture, it does so by taking electrons from atomic orbitals that may participate in bonding.

This makes its decay rate dependent to a measurable degree upon its electron configuration – a rare occurrence in nuclear decay.[9]

Guys this is the biggest news possibly ever in the history of Beryllium. My apologies if it's already been posted. https://phys.org/news/2023-06-metall...ium-atoms.html

Holy necrothread bump! And of course it would be Buck bumping the beryllium thread.
![]() Good to see you, Buck. Hang around and have a beer. |

I feel like I haven't seen Buck in a beryllium years.
