About these units
Mina (Biblical Greek) (mina (G))
The Greek mina weighed roughly 430 grams, depending on region. As with the Hebrew mina, it served as the intermediate mass unit within the Greek system. Minas appear frequently in classical literature for describing wages, commodity prices, and financial penalties. Their role in ancient bookkeeping showcases the organization of Greek economic life. A mina was traditionally divided into 100 drachmae, linking weight with monetary valuation.
Attogram (ag)
An attogram is 10⁻¹⁸ grams, an incredibly small mass used only in advanced scientific settings. At this scale, we are dealing with masses comparable to large molecules, viruses, or clusters of atoms. Modern techniques such as atomic force microscopy, mass spectrometry, and nanoscale resonators allow detection of attogram-level changes. Researchers studying chemical reactions, nanotechnology, and molecular biology may use attograms when describing ultra-fine mass differences. The attogram is an example of scientific progress: a unit unnecessary in the past, but now essential for understanding the smallest measurable interactions in nature.
