Teragram
A teragram (Tg) is a unit of mass equal to one trillion grams or 10^12 grams.
History/Origin
The teragram is part of the metric system and was introduced as a larger unit for measuring very large masses, especially in scientific contexts, to facilitate easier expression of large quantities.
Current Use
Teragrams are used primarily in scientific fields such as environmental science, geology, and astronomy to quantify large masses, like global emissions or mineral deposits.
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.
