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.
Gill (Us)
A gill (US) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one-quarter of a US pint, or 4 US fluid ounces.
History/Origin
The gill originated from the Old French 'gelle' and was historically used in the UK and US for measuring liquids, especially in brewing and cooking. Its usage has declined with the standardization of metric units.
