Dalton
The dalton (Da) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equivalent to one atomic mass unit (amu).
History/Origin
The dalton was named after John Dalton, who developed early atomic theory in the early 19th century. It has been widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to measure atomic and molecular masses.
Current Use
The dalton is commonly used in scientific contexts to specify the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles, facilitating precise communication in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
Picogram
A picogram (pg) is a unit of mass equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a gram.
History/Origin
The picogram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure extremely small masses, especially in scientific and laboratory contexts, as a subdivision of the gram in the SI unit system.
Current Use
Picograms are used in scientific fields such as biology, chemistry, and physics to measure very small quantities of substances, including DNA, proteins, and other microscopic materials.
