Inch (in)
Definition: An inch (symbol: in) is 1/12 of a foot or exactly 25.4 millimeters. It is deeply embedded in US manufacturing and daily life.
History: Derived from the Latin 'uncia' (1/12 of a Roman foot). Standardized internationally in 1959 to 25.4 mm, resolving variations between US and UK inches.
Current use: Prevails in US screen sizes (TVs, monitors), plumbing (pipe diameters), and tool calibration (e.g., wrench sizes). The UK uses inches informally for screen sizes and height.
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).
