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.
Cubic Foot
A cubic foot (ft^3) is a unit of volume representing the space occupied by a cube with sides of one foot in length.
History/Origin
The cubic foot has been used historically in the imperial and US customary measurement systems for measuring volume, especially in construction, real estate, and engineering contexts.
Current Use
Today, the cubic foot is still used in the United States and some other regions for measuring large volumes of liquids, gases, and bulk materials, particularly in industries like construction, shipping, and HVAC.
