Unit History
About nanometers
The nanometer (nm), one-billionth of a meter, gained prominence with major developments in areas such as semiconductor technology and molecular research. It is used to measure extremely small phenomena, including wavelengths of light and the size of molecules. Nanometers are now crucial in high-precision manufacturing and cutting-edge scientific studies, including nanotechnology and quantum research.
About inches
The inch, once based on the width of a human thumb, is now precisely 2.54 centimeters. Alongside feet, it remains common in the US, Canada, and the UK for many small-scale measurements, such as monitor screens, tool sizes, and parts in home-improvement stores. Its standardized conversion makes it simpler to toggle between customary and metric systems.
