Mil
A mil, also known as a thou, is a unit of length equal to one-thousandth of an inch.
History/Origin
The mil was introduced in the 19th century as a convenient unit for fine measurements in engineering and manufacturing.
Current Use
The mil is still used in some manufacturing and engineering contexts, particularly in the United States, for specifying the thickness of materials like paper and wire.
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.
