About these units
Nanogram (ng)
A nanogram equals 10⁻⁹ grams and is widely used across chemistry, toxicology, pharmaceuticals, and material science. Quantities such as trace contaminants, allergens, pesticides, or drug residues often fall in the nanogram range. In medicine, nanogram-per-liter concentrations are standard in blood tests, especially for cardiac markers like troponin, where even tiny amounts can indicate severe physiological conditions. Nanogram quantities are also important in environmental regulation and forensic science. The nanogram unit illustrates the power of modern analytical tools that can detect vanishingly small quantities with profound real-world implications.
Talent (Biblical Greek) (talent (G))
The Greek talent was far heavier than the Hebrew one, typically around 26 kilograms, depending on the city-state. It was the principal unit of mass for large sums in trade, tribute, and taxation. In classical Athens, a talent represented extraordinary wealth, often used to quantify state revenues or military expenses. It also appears in the New Testament, where it symbolizes substantial value. The Greek talent was divided into 60 minae, each of which subdivided further into drachmae.
