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.


Square Foot (US Survey)


The square foot (US survey) is a unit of area based on the US survey foot, which is slightly longer than the international foot. It is mainly used in land surveying and mapping in the United States.



  • 1 US survey foot = 1200⁄3937 meters (approximately 0.3048006096 m)



  • 1 square foot (US survey) ≈ 0.0929034116 m²



This unit helps maintain consistency in US land measurements, especially in legal and cadastral contexts.
