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 light years
A light-year, though not part of the SI system, is a common astronomical unit used to express vast distances in space. It came into broader usage after scientific measurement of the speed of light in the 19th century. Scientists and educators often use light-years to help illustrate the immense scales between celestial objects, offering a more tangible sense of distances in the universe.
