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.
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.
