Cubic Yard
A cubic yard is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of one yard (3 feet) in length.
History/Origin
The cubic yard originated from the imperial and US customary measurement systems, primarily used in construction, landscaping, and shipping industries for measuring large volumes of materials.
Current Use
Today, the cubic yard is commonly used in construction, landscaping, and waste management to measure materials like soil, gravel, and debris, and is part of volume conversions in various applications.
Femtoliter
A femtoliter (fL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-15 liters, used to measure extremely small quantities.
History/Origin
The femtoliter was introduced as part of the SI prefixes for metric units, specifically to quantify very small volumes in scientific research, particularly in biology and chemistry.
Current Use
Femtoliters are commonly used in fields such as cell biology, microfluidics, and nanotechnology to measure tiny volumes like individual cells, droplets, or nanoliter-scale samples.
