Zeptometre
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006729
A unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to 10⁻²¹ metres, or one sextillionth of a metre. This extremely small scale is relevant in particle physics for describing the dimensions of subatomic particles and the distances over which fundamental forces act. For instance, the effective cross-section of high-energy neutrinos interacting with nucleons is measured in square zeptometres.
