But there are groups working in femtoKelvin, picoKelvin, nanoKelvin and all temperature scales.\u00a0 I have to work with all of them for the Internet Foundation, which covers all human knowledge.\u00a0 The Internet Foundation &#8220;Standard Internet&#8221; (SI) units go well beyond &#8220;Systeme International&#8221; (SI) units and requirements.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Right now, temperature units are better for some areas of research and applications.
