Cubic Mile
A cubic mile is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with sides measuring one mile each.
History/Origin
The cubic mile has been used historically in measuring large quantities of volume, particularly in geography and geology, especially in the context of large-scale water or earth volume measurements. Its usage stems from the imperial and US customary measurement systems.
Current Use
Today, the cubic mile is primarily used in scientific and environmental contexts to quantify large-scale volumes such as water reservoirs, oil reserves, and geological formations.
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.
