Gigagram
A gigagram (Gg) is a unit of mass equal to one billion grams or one million kilograms.
History/Origin
The gigagram is part of the metric system, introduced as a standard unit for large masses in scientific and industrial contexts, with its usage becoming more common in the 20th century as measurements for large quantities expanded.
Current Use
Gigagrams are used in fields such as engineering, environmental science, and industry to quantify large masses, including biomass, emissions, and bulk materials.
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.
