About these units
Deuteron Mass (mπΉ)
A deuteron is the nucleus of deuterium, composed of one proton and one neutron. Its mass is approximately 3.343583719 Γ 10β»Β²β· kilograms, slightly less than the combined mass of its constituents due to binding energy. Deuterons are essential in nuclear fusion research, heavy water production, and astrophysical studies. They serve as a stepping stone in stellar nucleosynthesis, where hydrogen fuses into helium in the cores of stars. Understanding deuteron mass provides insight into the fundamental nuclear forces, fusion energy potential, and the behavior of matter under extreme conditions.
Petagram (Pg)
A petagram, equal to 10ΒΉΒ² kilograms, is used almost exclusively in global environmental science and earth system modeling. Planetary-scale carbon budgetsβfor example, the total carbon stored in Earth's soils or forestsβare expressed in petagrams. The Amazon rainforest alone holds on the order of 100 Pg of carbon. Using petagrams helps researchers track changes in Earth's climate balance and evaluate feedback loops in the carbon cycle.
