  Feedback - 04 December 2004 - New Scientist
AS SCIENCE probes ever smaller scales, we need new units.
The existing measures of length, for example, only go as far as the yoctometre - that's 10
There is, Feedback has discovered, a proposal in the wings.

  Sasha Nein's Blog - May 16th, 2006
Had a minor breakdown in the lab today that ended with me standing on a console while swiping at pieces of equipment floating past me with a broom.
I probably should have realized that the pipe I was sawing was a water main and not part of the Occipital Bypass Generator Yoctometre Neurotransmitter machine (OBGYN for short).
But blast it all, I swear the pipes are made by the same manufacturer.

 PhysOrgForum Science, Physics and Technology Discussion Forums -> You can jump higher in the dark
If you did do it in the dark you would jump slightly higher (assuming you could perfectly replicated the jump) but it'd be fractions of a millimetre.
...fractions of a millimetre, get the scale correct dude (zepto, yoctometre might be more appropriate)

 Atlas F1 Bulletin Board - AVUS or Avus and other inconsistencies in motorsport journalism
This means that kilo, meaning a thousand, must be a little k.
They have to be strict with this rule because the same letter is used for different prefixes but it means different things if it is upper or lower case; a yottametre (Ym) is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 metres, but a yoctometre (ym) is 0.000000000000000000000001 metres.
So a slight problem if you get them mixed up...
