Gamma
Gamma is a unit of mass used in the context of the 'Weight and Mass' converter, typically representing a gram or a related measure.
History/Origin
The term 'gamma' originates from the Greek letter gamma, historically used in various scientific contexts to denote small quantities of mass or radiation. Its use as a unit of mass has been more common in older or specialized scientific literature.
Current Use
Today, 'gamma' is rarely used as a standard unit of mass; instead, grams are the standard. However, 'gamma' may still appear in specific scientific fields or historical references related to mass measurement.
Dalton
The dalton (Da) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equivalent to one atomic mass unit (amu).
History/Origin
The dalton was named after John Dalton, who developed early atomic theory in the early 19th century. It has been widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to measure atomic and molecular masses.
Current Use
The dalton is commonly used in scientific contexts to specify the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles, facilitating precise communication in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
