Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
Gill (Uk)
A gill (UK) is a unit of volume equal to one-quarter of a pint, primarily used for measuring liquids such as spirits and milk.
History/Origin
The UK gill originated in the 19th century as part of the imperial measurement system, traditionally used in British households and trade for liquid measurements before metrication.
Current Use
Today, the UK gill is largely obsolete and rarely used in everyday measurements, but it may still be encountered in historical contexts, recipes, or specific legal or traditional settings.
