Milliliter
A milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a liter, commonly used to measure small quantities of liquids.
History/Origin
The milliliter was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century, aligning with the liter as the base unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
The milliliter is widely used in science, medicine, cooking, and everyday measurements to quantify liquids and small volumes.
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.
