What is Tonne

Tonne: The tonne, also known as the metric ton, is a unit of mass in the metric system. It is equal to 1,000 kilograms or 1,000,000 grams. It is widely used internationally for measuring larger quantities of mass and is equivalent to approximately 2,204.62 pounds.

What is Femtogram (fg)

A femtogram (fg) is a metric unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It represents one quadrillionth of a gram or 10^-15 grams. The metric system is a decimal-based system of measurement used worldwide, and it is particularly useful for expressing extremely small quantities of mass.

To provide context for the size of a femtogram:

• 1 femtogram (fg) = 0.000000000000001 grams (g)
• 1 femtogram = 0.000000000000000001 kilograms (kg)

Femtograms are primarily used in advanced scientific and technical fields, particularly in situations where measuring the tiniest quantities of substances or particles is critical. Some common applications of femtograms include:

• Nuclear physics and particle physics: Subatomic particles, such as quarks and neutrinos, have masses measured in femtograms.
• Nanotechnology: The mass of nanoparticles and individual atoms or molecules can be expressed in femtograms.
• Biotechnology and genomics: In genomics research, the amount of genetic material (DNA or RNA) in a single cell is often measured in femtograms.
