Foot (Us Survey)
The U.S. survey foot was a unit of length defined as exactly 1200/3937 meters.
History/Origin
The U.S. survey foot was used for land surveying in the United States for most of the 20th century. Its use was officially phased out in 2022 to standardize with the international foot.
Current Use
The U.S. survey foot is now an obsolete unit.
Nanometer
A nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term “nanometer” gained prominence in the late 20th century with the advent of nanotechnology and the development of microscopes capable of observing objects at that scale.
Current Use
The nanometer is commonly used to express dimensions on an atomic and molecular scale. It is used to specify the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation near the visible part of the spectrum and in the field of nanotechnology.
