Twip


A twip (short for twentieth of a point) is a very small unit of length used in digital typography and computer graphics. It equals 1/20 of a typographic point, or 1/1440 of an inch.


Key facts:



  • 1 twip = 1/20 point = 1/1440 inch ≈ 0.01764 millimeters



  • Used in software and digital layout to specify very fine measurements for text, spacing, and graphics



  • Helps achieve high precision in formatting and display, especially in word processors and graphic design programs



Twips allow for detailed control over layout and formatting beyond what whole points can provide, ensuring smooth and precise rendering on screens and printers.



Fermi


A fermi is a unit of length used in nuclear physics to measure extremely small distances, such as the size of atomic nuclei. It is equal to 1 femtometer (fm), which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.


The unit is named after the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, known for his work in nuclear physics.


Key facts:



  • 1 fermi = 1 femtometer = 10⁻¹⁵ meters



  • Used to measure nuclear dimensions and particle sizes



  • Essential in the study of nuclear and particle physics



The fermi is vital for describing distances at the subatomic scale, much smaller than atoms and molecules.
