What quavers are the shortest notes?

In music notation, quavers, also known as eighth notes, are typically the shortest notes that are commonly used in standard Western music. They are half the duration of quarter notes (crotchets) and are often used to create rhythmic variety. However, shorter notes can exist in the form of sixteenth notes (semiquavers) and thirty-second notes (demisemiquavers), which are even shorter than quavers.
