Sabin
The sabin is a unit of luminous intensity used to measure the brightness of light sources, specifically in photometry.
History/Origin
Named after the French physiologist Charles-Édouard Guillaume, the sabin was introduced in the early 20th century as a unit to quantify luminous intensity, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts related to light measurement.
Current Use
The sabin is rarely used today; it has been largely replaced by the candela in the International System of Units (SI). However, it may still appear in historical data or specialized fields related to light measurement.
Square Nanometer
A square nanometer (nm^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one nanometer each.
History/Origin
The nanometer as a unit of length has been used since the development of nanotechnology in the late 20th century, with the concept of measuring extremely small areas like nm^2 emerging alongside advancements in microscopy and nanoscience.
Current Use
Square nanometers are primarily used in nanotechnology, materials science, and semiconductor industries to quantify extremely small surface areas, such as the dimensions of nanomaterials, thin films, and microscopic structures.
