Teragram
A teragram (Tg) is a unit of mass equal to one trillion grams or 10^12 grams.
History/Origin
The teragram is part of the metric system and was introduced as a larger unit for measuring very large masses, especially in scientific contexts, to facilitate easier expression of large quantities.
Current Use
Teragrams are used primarily in scientific fields such as environmental science, geology, and astronomy to quantify large masses, like global emissions or mineral deposits.
Nanogram
A nanogram (ng) is a unit of mass equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a gram.
History/Origin
The nanogram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure extremely small quantities, especially in scientific and medical fields, as the need for precise measurement of tiny masses grew with technological advancements.
Current Use
Nanograms are commonly used in scientific research, pharmaceuticals, and environmental testing to measure very small amounts of substances accurately.
