It is also called metric system. All units (except time) base on 10 and you can write ANY other unit of the SI with using a combination of the 7 base units.

The most significant change in the possible future revision of the SI would be in the kilogram, the only one of the SI's seven base units* still defined in terms of a material "artifact": a 130 ...

The new definitions impact four of the seven base units of the SI: the kilogram, ampere, kelvin and mole; and all units derived from them, such as the volt, ohm and joule.

All change: work on the redefinition of the kilogram was carried out using a Kibble balance. (Courtesy: BIPM) The redefinition of four units of the International System of Units (SI) will come into ...

Redefining the SI base units (PhysOrg.com) -- Metrology is poised to undergo a profound change that will benefit scientists, engineers, industry and commerce – but which almost no one will ...

For the first time in more than 30 years, new terms have been officially added to the International System of Units (SI). The four new prefixes – ronna, quetta, ronto and quecto – describe ...

This is in the spirit of the new SI base units, which are now all defined by their relationships to fundamental constants, rather than through arbitrary references or objects.

The change, decided last year, means that all the base units of the International System of Units (SI) are now defined according to fixed fundamental constants of nature, rather than by a physical ...

There are seven base units of the SI: the second, metre, kilogram, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela. Some have long been based on physical constants. The metre, for example, has been defined since ...
