Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the Deuteron mass?
-
The Deuteron mass is the rest mass of the nucleus of deuterium, which consists of one proton and one neutron. It is important in nuclear physics and precision mass measurements.
-
What is an attogram used for?
-
An attogram is a very small SI-derived mass unit, equal to 10^-18 grams, commonly used for measuring masses of molecules, nanoparticles, and ultrafine particles in nanotechnology and analytical chemistry.
