What is a US tablespoon in milliliters?

A US tablespoon equals exactly 14.78676478125 milliliters, often approximated as 14.8 mL or rounded to 15 mL for cooking.

What does an attoliter measure?

An attoliter is a volume unit equal to 10^-18 liters, used to describe extremely small volumes such as those in nanotechnology and nanophysics.

Why convert tablespoons to attoliters?

This conversion links common culinary volumes to extremely small nanoscale volumes, useful for scientific research in nanophotonics, nanofluidics, and nanopore sensing.
