(AMU) is equal to the mass of one-twelfth of a carbon-12 atom (6 protons + 6 neutrons (+ 6 electrons)), a 'very' little less than 1.66 x 10-24 gram.

[Rest Mass Energy] The term refers to the concept of mass-energy equivalence. Einstein proposed that the equivalence of mass and energy is a general principle. E=mc2 E = energy, m = mass, c = the speed of light in a vacuum. c2 is the conversion factor required to convert from units of mass to units of energy. The rest energy of an electron or a positron for example amounts to 0.511 MeV. See also Photon, Photon Energy. Further Reading: Basics:
