Femtometer
A femtometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-15 meters. It is also known as a fermi.
History/Origin
The prefix "femto-" for 10^-15 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964. The unit is also named after the physicist Enrico Fermi.
Current Use
The femtometer is primarily used in nuclear physics to measure the size of atomic nuclei.
Microinch
A microinch is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of an inch.
History/Origin
The microinch is a unit used for extremely small measurements in precision engineering and manufacturing.
Current Use
The microinch is used in fields like mechanical engineering and electronics to measure surface roughness and tolerances.
