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.
Femtogram
A femtogram (fg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^-15 grams.
History/Origin
The femtogram was introduced as part of the metric system's extension to measure extremely small masses, particularly in scientific fields such as chemistry and biology, during the 20th century as measurement technology advanced.
Current Use
Femtograms are used in scientific research to measure tiny quantities of substances, such as in molecular biology, nanotechnology, and materials science, where precise measurement of very small masses is required.
