About these units

Decade (decade)

A decade spans 10 years and is widely used in demography, sociology, climatology, economics, and culture. Statistical studies often examine decade-level patterns—population change, economic cycles, consumer trends, cultural shifts, and generational studies. Climate scientists assess long-term temperature and precipitation changes over decades to filter out short-term variability. Decades also anchor cultural memory: the "60s," "80s," or "2000s" evoke distinct historical moods, fashions, and political climates. A decade, though arbitrary in length, has become a meaningful cultural and scientific periodization tool.

Femtosecond (fs)

A femtosecond equals 10⁻¹⁵ seconds, a staggering scale where fundamental molecular motions occur. Chemical bonds vibrate, break, and rearrange on femtosecond timescales. Ultrafast spectroscopy—pioneered by Ahmed Zewail, who won the Nobel Prize for this work—uses femtosecond laser pulses to "freeze" molecular reactions and observe them in real time. Femtosecond lasers allow extraordinary precision in surgery and microfabrication, producing minimal heat diffusion and ultraclean cuts. At this scale, time ceases to be a continuous blur and becomes granular in terms of molecular motion, giving rise to the field of femtochemistry and revolutionizing our understanding of reaction dynamics.
