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.
Scruple (Apothecary)
A scruple (s.ap) is an old unit of weight used in apothecary measurements, equivalent to 1.3 grains or approximately 1.3 grams.
History/Origin
The scruple originated in ancient Greece and was adopted into Roman and medieval European apothecary systems. It was historically used for measuring small quantities of medicinal substances and drugs.
Current Use
Today, the scruple is largely obsolete and replaced by metric units, but it is still referenced in historical contexts and traditional apothecary practices.
