Attogram
An attogram (ag) is a unit of mass equal to 10^-18 grams, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The attogram was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to include smaller units for scientific measurements, particularly in fields like nanotechnology and molecular biology, during the 20th century.
Current Use
Attograms are primarily used in scientific research to quantify very small masses, such as individual molecules or nanoparticles, and are part of the SI units for precise measurements in advanced scientific applications.
Dalton
The dalton (Da) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equivalent to one atomic mass unit (amu).
History/Origin
The dalton was named after John Dalton, who developed early atomic theory in the early 19th century. It has been widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to measure atomic and molecular masses.
Current Use
The dalton is commonly used in scientific contexts to specify the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles, facilitating precise communication in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
