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.
Attoliter
An attoliter (aL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-18 liters, representing an extremely small volume measurement.
History/Origin
The attoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create standardized prefixes for very small quantities, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the prefix 'atto-' which denotes 10^-18.
Current Use
Attoliters are primarily used in scientific research, particularly in fields like biochemistry and nanotechnology, to measure tiny volumes such as those of individual molecules or small biological samples.
