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.
Teraliter (TL)
A teraliter equals one trillion liters and is most often used in planetary science, hydrology, and climate modeling. Earth's oceans, glaciers, and atmospheric water content are sometimes described using teraliters, especially when modeling changes in global water distribution due to climate change. Although rarely encountered outside scientific literature, the TL provides crucial insight into large-scale resource balance, enabling researchers to track long-term storage and movement of Earth's water across millennia.
