About these units
Cubic Millimeter (mm³)
A cubic millimeter is the volume of a cube exactly 1 millimeter on each side, equal to 10⁻⁹ cubic meters or 0.001 milliliters. It is a very small volume, frequently used in medical imaging, microfluidics, materials science, and cell biology. In anatomy and radiology, tissue or tumor volumes are often quantified in cubic millimeters to express small but clinically significant structures. In engineering, mm³ can describe the displacement of precision components or the volume of micro-machined cavities. Microfluidic research—where entire laboratories are miniaturized onto chips—depends heavily on mm³ and smaller units, as channels and chambers hold extremely tiny volumes. Its precision scale makes it invaluable for applications requiring meticulous material control.
Cup (UK) (cup (UK))
A UK cup equals 284 mL, slightly larger than both the US cup and the metric cup. Used historically in British cooking, the UK cup is now largely superseded by grams and milliliters, but it remains relevant when interpreting older recipe books and culinary traditions. Its intermediate size provided a convenient measure in a pre-metric world and still appears in baking communities that prefer imperial standards.
