Femtosecond
A femtosecond (fs) is a unit of time equal to 10^-15 seconds, or one quadrillionth of a second.
History/Origin
The femtosecond was introduced in the 20th century with advancements in ultrafast laser technology, enabling measurement and manipulation of phenomena occurring on extremely short timescales.
Current Use
Femtoseconds are used in fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology to study ultrafast processes like chemical reactions, electron dynamics, and laser pulse durations.
Year (Leap)
A leap year is a year that has 366 days, including an extra day (February 29) added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year.
History/Origin
The concept of adding an extra day to the calendar was introduced by the Julian calendar in 45 BC and refined by the Gregorian calendar in 1582 to correct inaccuracies in the Julian system, establishing the current rules for leap years.
Current Use
Leap years are used in the Gregorian calendar to maintain alignment with Earth's orbit around the Sun, occurring every four years with exceptions for century years not divisible by 400, ensuring calendar accuracy over long periods.
