Unit Definition (yoctometer)
The yoctometre (or yoctometer), symbol: ym, is a decimal fraction of a metre, from the International System of Units. One yoctometre is 1x10-24 (1e-24) in scientific notation. Very small!

Unit Definition (X unit)
The X-unit (symbol xu) is a unit of length formerly used to measure the wavelength of X-rays and gamma rays. The X-unit is approximately 1.0021×10-13 metre. Defined by the Swedish physicist Karl Manne Georg Siegbahn (1886-1978) in 1925, the X-unit could not at that time be measured directly; the definition was instead made in terms of the spacing between planes of the calcite crystals used in the measuring apparatus.
