Square Mile (Us Survey)
A square mile (US survey) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of one mile, specifically used in the United States survey system.
History/Origin
The square mile has been used historically in land measurement and mapping in the United States, originating from the British imperial system. It is commonly employed in surveying and land division, especially in rural and agricultural contexts.
Current Use
Today, the square mile (US survey) is primarily used in land surveying, real estate, and geographic data within the United States, particularly for measuring large land areas such as counties, states, and national parks.
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.
