At least one use of femto- is in pulsed laser physics. Laser pulses of 50 femtoseconds can precisely remove material one atomic layer at a time without heating the surroundings. They can laser cut explosives without setting them off.
In the metric system, the units atto, femto, and pico are related by their respective powers of 10. Atto is 10-18, femto is 10-15, and pico is 10-12. This means that atto is smaller than femto, which is smaller than pico.
They are different prefixes for amounts less than unity:kilo = 1/1000micro = 1/1,000,000nano = 1/1,000,000,000pico = 1/1,000,000,000,000
You need to state what pico relates to. For instance one picocoulomb is 1x10-12 coulomb.
1 Pico Gram = 1 x 10^-12 Grams
Pico means 1/1,000,000,000,000. Micro means 1/1,000,000. Therefore there are 1,000,000 picograms in a microgram.
The prefix pico refers to 1x10-12 of a unit.
The prefix "pico" means ten to the power -12; 1 divided by that is 10 to the power 12.This applies whether you use the prefix "pico" with meters, seconds, or any other measure.
Pico means 10-12 = 0.000000000001
Pico (symbol p) is a prefix in the metric system denoting one trillionth.

I think you pico rather than pica. The prefix pico- represents a factor of 10-12, or 0.000 000 000 001. The next smallest prefix is femto- 10-15, or 0.000 000 000 000 001. Pico- is one step down from nano- which is 10-9, 0.000 000 001.
It indicates 10-12 of a unit.
The prefix "pico-" denotes a factor of 10^-12, meaning one trillionth (1/1,000,000,000,000) of a unit. It is commonly used in scientific contexts to indicate very small measurements.
Pico- (symbol p) is a prefix in the metric system denoting one trillionth, a factor of 10^−12 (0.000000000001).
It's pico, and it is 10-12
"Micro micro" was an older designation used for a metric prefix that is now known as the prefix "pico," which represents one trillionth (1/1,000,000,000,000). The use of "micro micro" was eventually replaced by the standardized SI prefixes to avoid confusion.
