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.
Cubic Meter
A cubic meter (m^3) is the SI unit of volume, representing the volume of a cube with edges one meter long.
History/Origin
The cubic meter was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, based on the meter defined by the wavelength of light in vacuum.
Current Use
The cubic meter is widely used in science, engineering, and industry to measure large volumes of liquids, gases, and solids, especially in contexts like construction, manufacturing, and environmental science.
