What is gram per centimeter per second used to measure?

Gram per centimeter per second is a cgs unit of dynamic viscosity that quantifies a fluid's resistance to shear flow, commonly used in tribology, polymer testing, and food quality control.

Why use attopoise for viscosity measurements?

Attopoise expresses extremely small dynamic viscosities encountered in molecular- and nanoscale contexts such as nanofluidics and ultracold gas research.

Can attopoise be used for conventional viscosity measurements?

No, attopoise is impractical for everyday use due to its extremely small scale and is reserved for specialized scientific applications.
