Example Conversion
To convert from nanometers to meters, multiply by 0.000000001.
For example: 22 nanometers = 22 × 0.000000001 = 0.000000022 meters
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 meters
The meter has a long history, first introduced during the late 18th century in France as part of the metric system. Over time, it has been redefined for greater precision but remains the foundational unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Today, it is used worldwide in nearly all scientific, industrial, and everyday measurements involving distance.
