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 Millimeter
A cubic millimeter (mm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube measuring 1 millimeter on each side.
History/Origin
The cubic millimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise measurements of small volumes, especially in fields like biology and materials science, as a subdivision of the cubic centimeter and cubic meter units.
Current Use
It is currently used in scientific research, medical measurements, and engineering to quantify small volumes accurately, particularly in microscopy, microfluidics, and material testing.
