Deuteron Mass
The deuteron mass (m_d) is the mass of a deuteron, which is the nucleus of deuterium consisting of one proton and one neutron, approximately 3.3436 × 10^-27 kilograms.
History/Origin
The deuteron mass has been determined through nuclear physics experiments involving mass spectrometry and nuclear reactions, with precise measurements becoming available in the 20th century as experimental techniques advanced.
Current Use
The deuteron mass is used in nuclear physics, astrophysics, and related fields to calculate nuclear reactions, binding energies, and in the calibration of mass spectrometers involving deuterium nuclei.
Carat
A carat is a unit of mass used to measure gemstones and pearls, equal to 200 milligrams.
History/Origin
The carat originated from the carob seed, which was historically used as a counterweight in balance scales due to its uniform weight. The term has been used since the 16th century to measure precious stones.
Current Use
Today, the carat is primarily used in the jewelry industry to specify the weight of diamonds and other gemstones, with 1 carat equaling 0.2 grams.
