Fermi
A fermi is a unit of length equal to a femtometer, which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The fermi is named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. It was a popular unit in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The femtometer is the officially recognized SI unit, but the fermi is still used informally in nuclear and particle physics.
Chain
A chain is a unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 22 yards.
History/Origin
The chain was developed by English surveyor Edmund Gunter in the early 17th century. It was designed to be a convenient length for surveying land.
Current Use
The chain is still used in some surveying applications and is the length of a cricket pitch.
