Femtopascal
The femtopascal (fPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-15 pascals.
History/Origin
The femtopascal is a derived SI unit introduced as part of the International System of Units' effort to create a comprehensive set of prefixes for very small measurements, although it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
The femtopascal is primarily used in scientific research involving extremely low pressure measurements, such as in nanotechnology and quantum physics, but it remains a theoretical unit with limited practical application.
Petapascal
A petapascal (PPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^15 pascals.
History/Origin
The petapascal was introduced as part of the SI prefix system to represent extremely high pressures, mainly in scientific and industrial contexts, as the need to measure such large values arose with advancements in high-pressure physics and astrophysics.
Current Use
Petapascal is used in fields such as astrophysics, geophysics, and high-pressure physics to quantify extremely high pressures, such as those found in planetary interiors or during high-energy experiments.
