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.
Microgram
A microgram (µg) is a unit of mass equal to one millionth of a gram (10^-6 grams).
History/Origin
The microgram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure very small quantities, particularly in science and medicine, and has been widely used since the 20th century.
Current Use
Micrograms are commonly used today in fields such as pharmacology, nutrition, and chemistry to measure small amounts of substances accurately.
