History

Millisecond (ms)

The millisecond, symbol ms, is one-thousandth of a second. It is important to time very short periods. The millisecond, a unit of measurement in the metric system, is used in science, computers, and engineering. It measures speeds and response times in digital devices. People’s reaction times are often measured in milliseconds, making it useful in medicine, sports, and psychology. Its accuracy helps capture events that happen too fast for the eye to see.

Microsecond (µs)

The microsecond, symbolized as µs, is one millionth of a second. This very short time is important in electronics, communication, and research. Microseconds are used to measure signal delays, computer speeds, and fast changes. As digital technology grew in the 1900s, measuring microseconds became necessary. Today, this accuracy supports applications such as fast trading, medical imaging, and satellite communications.
