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.
Stone (Uk)
A stone (st) is a British unit of weight equal to 14 pounds avoirdupois, primarily used for measuring body weight.
History/Origin
The stone has origins in medieval England, where it was used as a practical unit of weight for trade and commerce. Its use has persisted in the UK for measuring human body weight, despite the metric system's adoption elsewhere.
Current Use
Today, the stone is still commonly used in the UK and Ireland for personal weight measurement, especially in the context of health and fitness, although it is largely replaced by kilograms in official and international contexts.
