Square Centimeter
A square centimeter (cm^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one centimeter.
History/Origin
The square centimeter has been used as a standard unit of area measurement in the metric system since its adoption, primarily for measuring small surfaces in science, engineering, and everyday contexts.
Current Use
It is commonly used in fields such as geometry, manufacturing, and science to measure small areas, including in specifications for materials, biological measurements, and surface areas in various applications.
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.
