Tablespoon (Metric)
A tablespoon (metric) is a unit of volume measurement equal to 15 milliliters.
History/Origin
The tablespoon originated from the traditional use of a tablespoon as a measure of the amount of food that could be held in a typical tablespoon, with standardization occurring in the metric system to ensure consistency across measurements.
Current Use
The metric tablespoon is commonly used in cooking and food preparation to measure ingredients, especially in recipes requiring precise volume measurements.
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.
