Cubic Inch
A cubic inch is a unit of volume measurement representing the volume of a cube with edges one inch long.
History/Origin
The cubic inch has been used historically in the United States and other countries that employ imperial units, primarily for measuring small volumes such as engine displacements and packaging, dating back to the adoption of the imperial system.
Current Use
Today, the cubic inch is still used in certain industries like automotive and manufacturing to specify engine sizes, engine displacements, and small volume measurements, especially in the United States.
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.
