Cubic Centimeter
A cubic centimeter (cm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The cubic centimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts as a standard unit of volume measurement, especially in fields like medicine and chemistry, since the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the cubic centimeter is commonly used to measure small volumes in medicine (e.g., dosage), automotive engine capacities, and scientific experiments, often interchangeably with milliliters (mL).
Cubic Millimeter
A cubic millimeter (mm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube measuring 1 millimeter on each side.
History/Origin
The cubic millimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise measurements of small volumes, especially in fields like biology and materials science, as a subdivision of the cubic centimeter and cubic meter units.
Current Use
It is currently used in scientific research, medical measurements, and engineering to quantify small volumes accurately, particularly in microscopy, microfluidics, and material testing.
