- Size of the Nanoscale - National Nanotechnology Initiative
One nanometer is about as long as your fingernail grows in one second The illustration below has three visual examples of the size and the scale of nanotechnology, showing just how small things at the nanoscale actually are
- What is a Nanometer? - Lifewire
A nanometer (nm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter (1 x 10-9 m) Many have likely heard of it before–it’s frequently associated with nanotechnology and the creation or study of very tiny things A nanometer is obviously smaller than a meter, but you may be wondering just how small?
