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.
Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
