New prefixes for extremely huge and small numbers announced

SCIENCE

BY CAN EMIR

SCIENCE

At the CGPM in November, measurement experts and government representatives from all over the world voted to add new prefixes to the International System of Units.

SCIENCE

Scientists have been searching for new prefixes to represent their infinitesimally small and inconceivably vast results as the study of size continues to expand.

SCIENCE

As an extension of the metric system, the International System of Units was suggested by the United Kingdom's National Physical Laboratory.

SCIENCE

The proposal, led by Prof Richard Brown, Head of Metrology at NPL, recommended the four new names.

The researchers underline that there has not been much research on females and suggest that this research can be a pioneer.

SCIENCE

SCIENCE

Informal prefixes were already starting to be used often in data science, which raised the possibility of misunderstanding.

SCIENCE

As a result of this decision, measurements can now be expressed globally using four new prefixes. The SI prefix range has now been expanded for the first time since 1991.
