Micrometer (µm)
Definition: A micrometer (symbol: µm), or micron, is one-millionth of a meter (0.000001 m). It measures microscopic structures like cells and wavelengths of infrared light.
History: Gained prominence with the development of microscopy in the 17th century. The term 'micron' was officially deprecated in 1967 in favor of 'micrometer' to align with SI standards.
Current use: Critical in biology (cell diameters), semiconductor manufacturing (transistor features), and air quality monitoring (particulate matter like PM2.5).
Yard (yd)
Definition: A yard (symbol: yd) is a unit of length equal to 3 feet or 0.9144 meters. It bridges the gap between feet and miles in imperial systems.
History: Traditionally based on the girth of a person’s waist. Standardized in 1959 internationally to exactly 0.9144 meters, ending discrepancies between US and UK yards.
Current use: Common in American football (100-yard field), golf (yardage markers), and textiles (fabric sold by the yard). Rarely used outside the US and UK.
