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.
Dekagram
A dekagram (dag) is a unit of mass equal to ten grams.
History/Origin
The dekagram was introduced as part of the metric system to simplify conversions within the metric units of mass, particularly in the context of grams and kilograms, and has been used primarily in countries adopting the metric system since the 19th century.
Current Use
Dekagrams are used in various fields such as cooking, jewelry, and scientific measurements, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, although grams and kilograms are more commonly used globally.
