SI – Scientific Prefixes

One of my earliest memories is of reading a book, a Χmas gift, with small scientific prefixes:

  • milli-
  • micro-
  • nano-
  • pico-
  • femto-
  • atto- (one quintillionth)

While I no longer have the book, it’s probable zepto- and yocto- were present, indeed Yocto was privately investigated for rUNSWift.

Today, I learnt there is also ronto- and quecto-, since 2022.
