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.
Decimeter
A decimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-tenth of a meter.
History/Origin
The prefix "deci-" comes from the Latin word "decimus," meaning tenth. The decimeter was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The decimeter is not as commonly used in everyday life as other metric units like the centimeter or meter, but it is sometimes used in technical and scientific contexts.
