A decigram (dg) is an SI-derived unit of mass equal to one tenth of a gram, or 0.1 g, used for measuring small masses with finer resolution than grams.

An attogram (ag) is an extremely small SI unit of mass equal to 10^-18 grams, used primarily in molecular and nanoscale measurements.

Why convert from decigram to attogram?

Converting allows expressing small mass values in very fine units needed for nanoscale science, analytical chemistry, and research instrumentation.
