Metastable isomers are produced through nuclear reactions. The excited state of the nucleus will de-excite by emission of gamma rays until the nuclear ground state is reached. Isotopes in a metastable condition are designated with a 'm', for example 99mTc. • • View NEWS results for 'Metastasis' (1). ![]() •
(m) The SI base unit of distance. Definition: 1983 defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum during the time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second. The speed of light in a vacuum, c, is one of the fundamental constants of nature. 1 meter (m) is equal to approximately 39.370 079 inches (in) 1 meter is equal to approximately 3.280 840 feet (ft) 1 meter is equal to approximately 1.093 613 3 yard (yd) 1 square meter (m²) is equal to approximately 10.763911 square feet (ft²) 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters Smaller or larger units are, e.g.: 1 meter (m) = 1 000 millimeter (mm) 1 micrometer (µm) = 10-6 meter (m) 1 nanometer (nm) = 10-9 meter (m) 1 picometer (pm) = 10-12 meter (m) 1 femtometer (fm) = 10-15 meter (m) 1 kilometer (km) = 1 000 meter (m) 1 kilometer (km) = 0.62137 (statute) miles (mi) See also System International. • View NEWS results for 'Meter' (2). ![]() ![]() Further Reading: News & More:
