Barn [b]
A barn (b) is a very small unit of area used mainly in nuclear and particle physics to measure the cross-sectional area of atomic nuclei and particles.
1 barn = 10⁻²⁸ square meters (m²).
The name "barn" humorously refers to something “as big as a barn” in the tiny world of atomic scales, despite its extremely small size.
Arpent
An arpent is a traditional French unit of land area and length, still used in some regions like Louisiana and parts of Canada.
As an area, 1 arpent ≈ 0.85 acres ≈ 3,420 square meters.
As a length, 1 arpent ≈ 192 feet (about 58.47 meters).
Arpents were commonly used in colonial land surveying and property descriptions, especially in French-influenced areas.
