Also, how can this be measured?

I guess that depends upon what the "something" is.
If you are talking about something that is composed of molecules (like a block of ice of H20), then the smallest length would be the size of a single H20 molecule. After all, if you get smaller than that, you no longer have a water molecule.
If you are talking about something that is an element (like gold), then the smallest length would be the size of a single atom. You can't go smaller than an atom and still call it gold.
From there, you start getting into subatomic particles. Then you begin to deal with the size of these particles, and I don't think science has found all the limits of these particles... after all, last I knew they were still trying to determine if neutrinos have mass.

Planck Length. Wiki that.
