Foot (ft)
Definition: A foot (symbol: ft) is 12 inches or 0.3048 meters. It is a cornerstone of the US customary and British imperial systems.
History: Dates back to ancient civilizations using human body parts for measurement. The international foot was defined in 1959 as exactly 0.3048 meters to harmonize US and UK standards.
Current use: Ubiquitous in US construction (building plans), aviation (altitude in feet), and personal height measurement. Persists in the UK for informal height/weight reporting.
Nanometer (nm)
Definition: A nanometer (symbol: nm) is one-billionth of a meter (0.000000001 m). It operates at the atomic and molecular scale, pivotal for nanotechnology and quantum physics.
History: Became relevant in the late 20th century with advances in electron microscopy and the rise of nanotechnology. The 1983 meter definition enabled its precise standardization.
Current use: Fundamental in chip fabrication (CPU node sizes, e.g., 7nm), DNA research (helix width ≈ 2nm), and optics (visible light wavelengths range 380–700nm).
