1 microsecond – protein folding takes place on the order of microseconds (thus this is the speed of carbon-based life). 1.8 microseconds – the amount of time subtracted from the Earth's day as a result of the 2011 Japanese earthquake. [1] 2 microseconds – the lifetime of a muonium particle.

A millisecond (from milli-and second; symbol: ms) is a unit of time in the International System of Units equal to one thousandth (0.001 or 10 −3 or 1 / 1000) of a second [1] [2] or 1000 microseconds. A millisecond is to one second, as one second is to approximately 16.67 minutes.

In some data communication standards, a time unit (TU) is equal to 1024 microseconds. [1] This unit of time was originally introduced in IEEE 802.11-1999 standard [2] and continues to be used in newer issues of the IEEE 802.11 standard. [1] In the 802.11 standards, periods of time are generally described as integral numbers of time units.
