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.
Teraliter
A teraliter (TL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillion liters (10^12 liters).
History/Origin
The teraliter is part of the metric system's series of prefixes, introduced to denote large quantities of liters, primarily used in scientific and industrial contexts as a standard unit of volume measurement.
Current Use
Teraliters are used in scientific research, environmental studies, and industries dealing with large-scale liquid volumes, such as water resource management and global climate data analysis.
