Nanogram
A nanogram (ng) is a unit of mass equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a gram.
History/Origin
The nanogram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure extremely small quantities, especially in scientific and medical fields, as the need for precise measurement of tiny masses grew with technological advancements.
Current Use
Nanograms are commonly used in scientific research, pharmaceuticals, and environmental testing to measure very small amounts of substances accurately.
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.
