Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
Cubic Inch
A cubic inch is a unit of volume measurement representing the volume of a cube with edges one inch long.
History/Origin
The cubic inch has been used historically in the United States and other countries that employ imperial units, primarily for measuring small volumes such as engine displacements and packaging, dating back to the adoption of the imperial system.
Current Use
Today, the cubic inch is still used in certain industries like automotive and manufacturing to specify engine sizes, engine displacements, and small volume measurements, especially in the United States.
