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 Kilometer
A cubic kilometer (km^3) is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with edges of one kilometer in length.
History/Origin
The cubic kilometer has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure large volumes, especially in geology, hydrology, and environmental sciences, as a convenient unit for expressing vast quantities of water, earth, or other materials.
Current Use
Today, the cubic kilometer is primarily used in fields such as hydrology to quantify large-scale water volumes, like reservoirs and aquifers, and in geology and environmental science to measure large volumes of earth or other substances.
