Attoliter
An attoliter (aL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^-18 liters, representing an extremely small volume measurement.
History/Origin
The attoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create standardized prefixes for very small quantities, following the adoption of the International System of Units (SI). It is derived from the prefix 'atto-' which denotes 10^-18.
Current Use
Attoliters are primarily used in scientific research, particularly in fields like biochemistry and nanotechnology, to measure tiny volumes such as those of individual molecules or small biological samples.
Cor (Biblical)
The cor is an ancient biblical unit of volume used to measure dry goods, equivalent to approximately 10 ephahs or about 10.3 liters.
History/Origin
The cor originates from biblical times and was used in ancient Israelite measurements. It appears in the Hebrew Bible as a measure for grain and other dry commodities, reflecting the agricultural practices of the period.
Current Use
Today, the cor is primarily of historical and biblical interest, with no modern standard equivalent. It is used in biblical studies and historical research to understand ancient measurements and contexts.
