Units explained
Deuteron Mass
The deuteron mass is about 3.344E-27 kg.
The mass of the deuteron, the nucleus of deuterium (one proton and one neutron).
Nuclear physics and fusion-energy research.
Established with the discovery of deuterium by Harold Urey in 1931.
Scruple (apothecary)
The apothecary scruple equals 20 grains, about 1.296 grams.
From Latin 'scrupulus', a small sharp pebble used as a tiny weight.
Historical apothecary dosing of powders.
Part of the apothecaries' system used through the 19th century.
