Common time units

Picosecond (ps)

Definition: A picosecond is one trillionth of a second.

History/origin: Picoseconds became useful with the rise of electronics, laser physics, and signal processing that operate on extremely short timescales.

Current use: Picoseconds are used in ultrafast optics, semiconductor timing, telecommunications, and scientific measurements of very rapid events.

Millisecond (ms)

Definition: The millisecond is a thousandth of a second. One second contains exactly 1,000 ms.

History/origin: Mechanical and electrical systems first made sub-second timing important, and computers later made millisecond measurements part of everyday performance work.

Current use: Ms is used for website speed, app response time, game ping, animation timing, medical monitors, industrial controllers, stopwatch splits, and audio or video sync.
