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.
Nanoliter
A nanoliter (nL) is a unit of volume equal to one billionth of a liter (10^-9 liters).
History/Origin
The nanoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's expansion to include smaller units for scientific and industrial measurements, particularly in fields like biology and chemistry, during the 20th century.
Current Use
Nanoliters are commonly used in laboratories for precise measurements of small liquid volumes, such as in microfluidics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research.
