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.
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).
