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.
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.
Current Use
Today, the US gill is rarely used in everyday measurement but may still be encountered in historical contexts, traditional recipes, or specific industries like brewing and bartending in the United States.
