Jeez, you are even more stupid than he is!

Grams? Grams of WHAT? I am sure that 46.49 grams of water would yield
less than 46.49 grams of highly enriched Uranium.

Also, a nuke does not "convert a few nanograms". For one thing, it
does not get "converted", it gets "released".

The first ones REQUIRED 100lbs of material to go critical.

Modern devices "need" less, but the designs are hardly set up where
they include more than they need. To claim so is just stupid.

Also, ALL of it goes fissile, so the "just there for chance" remark is
stupid as well.

Your brain must only weigh a few nanograms. There cannot be any more
than that after stupid statements like the one you made here.

Simply blast each dust particle on the wafer surface with a same-sized
chunk of antimatter.

I generously donate this invention to the public domain.

Perhaps you could dive into a pool of antimatter and get 'blasted away'.

I generously donate this Earth soothing suggestion to you. That way,
you might be able to recover a tiny bit of honor.

Grams of matter converted into energy according to E = mc^2
EricP is right on the money. Nuclear binding energy is released by
fission and the bits remaining afterwards weigh a little bit less. The
mass difference becomes kinetic energy and electromagetic radiation.

A nanogram of mass annihilated would release about 90kJ - barely enough
to boil the water needed to make a small pot of tea.
