Square Mil
A square mil is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one mil (thousandth of an inch).
History/Origin
The square mil has been used primarily in engineering and manufacturing to measure very small areas, especially in fields like electronics and materials science, where precision at a microscopic scale is required.
Current Use
Today, the square mil is mainly used in the electronics industry to specify the cross-sectional area of wires and conductors, as well as in materials science for measuring tiny surface areas.
Square Nanometer
A square nanometer (nm^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one nanometer each.
History/Origin
The nanometer as a unit of length has been used since the development of nanotechnology in the late 20th century, with the concept of measuring extremely small areas like nm^2 emerging alongside advancements in microscopy and nanoscience.
Current Use
Square nanometers are primarily used in nanotechnology, materials science, and semiconductor industries to quantify extremely small surface areas, such as the dimensions of nanomaterials, thin films, and microscopic structures.
