About these units
Cubic Foot (ft³)
A cubic foot equals 28.31684659 liters, representing the volume of a cube one foot on each side. It is widely used in construction, real estate, natural gas metering, and HVAC systems. Room ventilation rates, airflow in ducts, and gas consumption often use cubic feet or cubic feet per minute (CFM). Storage capacity for freezers, shipping containers, and building materials also frequently uses this unit. The cubic foot's relationship to the foot makes it practical in industries where imperial length units still dominate.
Attoliter (aL)
An attoliter is a staggering 10⁻¹⁸ liters, placing it firmly in the realm of molecular and nanoscale science. This unimaginably small volume corresponds to spaces comparable to the inside of viruses, nanopores, or clusters of biomolecules. Cutting-edge technologies like nano-droplet reactors, atomic force microscopy, and high-precision spectroscopy rely on attoliters to describe reaction chambers or sample sizes. The attoliter is so small that even a single bacterial cell has a volume approximately one million attoliters. This makes the unit essential for exploring the physical limits of chemical reactions and biological processes.
