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.
Centimeter
A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a meter.
History/Origin
The prefix "centi-" comes from the Latin word "centum," meaning hundred. The centimeter was part of the original metric system established in France in 1795.
