Nanometer


A nanometer (nm) is an incredibly small unit of length in the metric system. It equals one-billionth of a meter (0.000000001 meters). Nanometers are used to measure things at the atomic and molecular scale, like the size of viruses, DNA strands, or the width of a few atoms. The symbol for nanometer is "nm". This unit is essential in fields like nanotechnology, physics, and chemistry, where scientists work with materials and particles too tiny to see with regular microscopes. Understanding measurements in nanometers helps researchers develop new materials, medicines, and electronic devices.


Ångström


An ångström (symbol: Å) is a unit of length commonly used in physics, chemistry, and biology to measure very small distances, such as atomic and molecular scales. It is equal to 10⁻¹⁰ meters, or 0.1 nanometers (nm).


The unit is named after the Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström, who made significant contributions to spectroscopy.


Key facts:



  • 1 ångström = 10⁻¹⁰ meters = 0.1 nanometers



  • Used to measure atomic and molecular sizes, wavelengths of light, and crystal lattice constants



  • Common in fields like crystallography, chemistry, and materials science



Though largely replaced by the nanometer in the SI system, the ångström remains widely used in scientific literature to describe very small lengths.
