Femtopascal
The femtopascal (fPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-15 pascals.
History/Origin
The femtopascal is a derived SI unit introduced as part of the International System of Units' effort to create a comprehensive set of prefixes for very small measurements, although it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
The femtopascal is primarily used in scientific research involving extremely low pressure measurements, such as in nanotechnology and quantum physics, but it remains a theoretical unit with limited practical application.
Terapascal
A terapascal (TPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one trillion pascals (10^12 Pa).
History/Origin
The terapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure extremely high pressures, especially in scientific research involving materials under extreme conditions, such as in geophysics and high-energy physics.
Current Use
The terapascal is used in scientific fields to quantify very high pressures, such as in studying Earth's deep interior, material science, and high-pressure physics experiments.
