Nanojoule
A nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a joule.
History/Origin
The nanojoule was introduced as part of the SI unit system to measure very small amounts of energy, especially in scientific and technological contexts, with its usage becoming more common with advancements in nanotechnology and micro-scale energy measurements.
Current Use
Nanojoules are used in fields such as electronics, nanotechnology, and physics to quantify small energy quantities, including in the measurement of energy consumption in micro- and nano-scale devices.
Ton (Explosives)
A ton (explosives) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the explosive power equivalent to one ton of TNT, typically used in military and demolition contexts.
History/Origin
The ton (explosives) originated as a standardized measure to compare explosive yields, with its use becoming prominent during the 20th century for military and industrial applications, aligning with the adoption of the ton as a unit of mass and energy.
Current Use
Today, the ton (explosives) is primarily used in military, demolition, and mining industries to estimate explosive quantities and effects, often expressed in terms of equivalent TNT mass for safety and planning purposes.
