AttopoiseaP
Target UnitThe attopoise (symbol: aP) is a subunit of viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, specifically representing dynamic viscosity. One attopoise is equal to 10^-18 poise, which can be understood as the viscosity of a fluid that offers a resistance of 1 dyne to a shear stress of 1 dyne per square centimeter. It is a very small measure, useful for quantifying extremely low viscosities found in certain nanofluids and other specialized applications in the field of fluid dynamics.
Current Use
Today, the attopoise is primarily used in scientific research, particularly in the fields of nanotechnology, molecular biology, and advanced fluid mechanics. It enables researchers to describe and quantify the viscosity of extremely thin films, nanofluids, and other complex fluids where traditional units would be inadequate. Industries such as pharmaceuticals, materials science, and nanotechnology utilize the attopoise in their research and applications.
Fun Fact
The attopoise is one of the smallest units of viscosity used in scientific measurements.

It is a very small measure, useful for quantifying extremely low viscosities found in certain nanofluids and other specialized applications in the field of fluid dynamics.
History & Origin
The attopoise was introduced in the context of modern measurements of viscosity, particularly to describe extremely low viscosities encountered in advanced materials and nanotechnology. Its definition helps to quantify the behavior of fluids at the nanoscale, where conventional viscosity measures become impractical. The term reflects the trend toward using metric prefixes to create smaller units for precise scientific applications.
Etymology: The term 'attopoise' is derived from the prefix 'atto-' meaning 10^-18, combined with 'poise', which is named after the French physicist Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, who studied the flow of liquids.
