Microgram
A microgram (µg) is a unit of mass equal to one millionth of a gram (10^-6 grams).
History/Origin
The microgram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure very small quantities, particularly in science and medicine, and has been widely used since the 20th century.
Current Use
Micrograms are commonly used today in fields such as pharmacology, nutrition, and chemistry to measure small amounts of substances accurately.
Exagram
An exagram (Eg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^18 grams, used to measure extremely large quantities of mass.
History/Origin
The exagram is a relatively recent addition to the metric system, introduced to facilitate the measurement of very large masses in scientific and industrial contexts, aligning with the SI prefixes for large units.
Current Use
Exagrams are primarily used in scientific research, astronomy, and large-scale industrial applications to quantify massive amounts of material or celestial bodies.
