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.
Stere
The stere (st) is a unit of volume used to measure large quantities of natural gas or other gases, equivalent to one thousand cubic meters (1,000 m³).
History/Origin
The stere originated in France in the 19th century as a practical unit for measuring natural gas volumes, particularly in the gas industry, and has been adopted in various countries for industrial and commercial purposes.
Current Use
Today, the stere is primarily used in the natural gas industry to quantify large volumes of gas, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, facilitating trade and regulation.
