Nanometer and Square Nanometer – A Short Note

A nanometer (symbol: nm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to:

1 nanometer = 10⁻⁹ meters

Nanometers are widely used to measure things at the molecular and atomic scale, such as the size of molecules, wavelengths of light, and features in nanotechnology. For example, the diameter of a DNA molecule is about 2 nanometers.

A square nanometer (symbol: nm²) is a unit of area, representing a square with each side one nanometer long:

1 nm² = (10⁻⁹ m) × (10⁻⁹ m) = 10⁻¹⁸ m²

Square nanometers are used to describe very small surface areas, such as the surface of nanoparticles or thin films.

In summary:

• 
  

  Nanometer (nm) measures very small lengths at the nanoscale

  
  
• 
  

  Square nanometer (nm²) measures extremely small areas

  Common in nanotechnology, materials science, and molecular biology

  
  

Attometer and Square Attometer – A Short Note

An attometer (symbol: am) is an extremely small unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to:

1 attometer = 10⁻¹⁸ meters

This unit is rarely used in practice because it is much smaller than the size of atoms and subatomic particles. It is typically used in theoretical physics or quantum mechanics to describe incredibly tiny distances, such as those between particles or within nuclear structures.

A square attometer (symbol: am²) is a unit of area, representing a square with sides one attometer in length. It is defined as:

1 am² = (10⁻¹⁸ m) × (10⁻¹⁸ m) = 10⁻³⁶ m²

This is an extraordinarily small area and is almost never used in practical measurements.

In summary:

• 
  

  Attometer (am) measures ultra-small lengths

  
  
• 
  

  Square attometer (am²) measures ultra-small areas

  
  
• 
  

  Used mainly in advanced scientific theories and quantum-scale physics.
