What is an attometer used for?

An attometer measures extremely small lengths relevant to subnuclear and high-energy physics.

Why convert attometers to X-units?

To compare ultra-small SI measurements with historical X-ray crystallography scales and spectroscopy data.

Is the X-unit still used today?

The X-unit is mostly a historical unit and is not commonly used in modern measurement standards.
