Micrometer
A micrometer, also known as a micron, is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967, and "micrometer" became the official term.
Current Use
The micrometer is a common unit for measuring the wavelength of infrared radiation, as well as the size of biological cells and bacteria. It is also widely used in technology and engineering.
Fermi
A fermi is a unit of length equal to a femtometer, which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The fermi is named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. It was a popular unit in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The femtometer is the officially recognized SI unit, but the fermi is still used informally in nuclear and particle physics.
