Mile (mi)
Definition: A mile (symbol: mi) is a unit of length equal to 5,280 feet or exactly 1,609.344 meters. It remains a primary unit for distance in the US and UK.
History: Originated from the Roman 'mille passus' (1,000 paces). The statute mile was formalized in 1593 under Queen Elizabeth I. The international mile was standardized in 1959 to align with the meter.
Current use: Dominates US transportation (road signs, speed limits) and athletics (mile runs). The UK uses miles for road distances despite metrication in other sectors.
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).
