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.
Millimeter
A millimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-thousandth of a meter.
History/Origin
The prefix "milli-" comes from the Latin word "mille," meaning thousand. The millimeter was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The millimeter is widely used in engineering and manufacturing for high-precision measurements. It is also a common unit in construction and for measuring small objects.
