Femtogram
A femtogram (fg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^-15 grams.
History/Origin
The femtogram was introduced as part of the metric system's extension to measure extremely small masses, particularly in scientific fields such as chemistry and biology, during the 20th century as measurement technology advanced.
Current Use
Femtograms are used in scientific research to measure tiny quantities of substances, such as in molecular biology, nanotechnology, and materials science, where precise measurement of very small masses is required.
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.
