Cc
The cubic centimeter (cc or cm^3) is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The cubic centimeter has been used in scientific and medical contexts as a convenient measure of small volumes, especially in fields like medicine and engineering, evolving from the metric system's adoption in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the cubic centimeter is commonly used to measure small volumes in medicine (e.g., syringe capacities), automotive engine displacements, and scientific applications, often interchangeably with milliliters (mL).
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.
