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.
Petagram
A petagram (Pg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^15 grams or one quadrillion grams.
History/Origin
The petagram was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes to represent extremely large masses, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the prefix 'peta-' which denotes 10^15.
Current Use
The petagram is primarily used in scientific contexts to quantify very large masses, such as in astronomy and geology, but is rarely used in everyday measurements.
