Is there a measurement smaller than a nanogram?

In: Science, Units of Measure, Weight and Mass [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes. A nanogram is 10^-9 grams. A picogram is 10^-12 grams. And there are smaller units still. It might come down to whether or not we can measure them or whether we can just estimate a mass smaller than a nanogram. The mass of a proton, for exampe, is one that is not derived by placing a proton on a scale.

(The mass of a proton, by the way, is about 1.67×10⁻²⁴ grams or so.)
