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.
Electron Mass (Rest)
The electron mass (rest) is the invariant mass of an electron, approximately 9.10938356 × 10⁻³¹ kilograms, representing the mass of an electron at rest.
History/Origin
The electron mass was first measured in the early 20th century through experiments involving cathode rays and later refined with advancements in particle physics, establishing it as a fundamental constant in physics.
Current Use
The electron mass is used in calculations involving atomic and subatomic physics, quantum mechanics, and in defining units related to particle properties, such as in the 'Weight and Mass' converter for scientific and educational purposes.
