About these units
Quart (US) (qt (US))
A US quart equals 32 US fluid ounces or 946 milliliters, exactly 1/4 of a US gallon. It is commonly used for milk, juice, motor oil, and household chemicals. The quart's convenient scale makes it ideal for medium-sized liquid quantities—larger than a pint but smaller than a gallon. It remains widely used in American kitchens, automotive maintenance, and everyday shopping. Like other US customary units, the quart persists because consumers and industries have longstanding infrastructures built around it.
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.
