Day
A day is a unit of time representing the period of one complete rotation of the Earth on its axis, typically lasting 24 hours.
History/Origin
The concept of a day has origins in ancient civilizations observing the cycle of day and night. The 24-hour day was standardized in the modern era, with the division into hours dating back to ancient Egypt and further refined through the adoption of mechanical clocks.

Femtosecond
A femtosecond (fs) is a unit of time equal to 10^-15 seconds, or one quadrillionth of a second.
History/Origin
The femtosecond was introduced in the 20th century with advancements in ultrafast laser technology, enabling measurement and manipulation of phenomena occurring on extremely short timescales.
Current Use
Femtoseconds are used in fields such as physics, chemistry, and biology to study ultrafast processes like chemical reactions, electron dynamics, and laser pulse durations.
