Science News Daily describes a scale that can measure weights down to the attogram range.  For those who do not know, as I didn't, an attogram is 0.0000000000000000001 of a gram!  Said another way, it can measure particles as small as one millionth of a trillionth of a gram.  Or in another scale, since the US Dollar weighs in at one gram..... our national debt at $17 Trillion is, in attograms:

17,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 attograms of our currency!
