Unit Definitions
What is a Nanometer (nm)?
A nanometer (nm) is a unit of length equal to one-billionth of a meter.
History
The term 'nanometer' was first used in the 1960s as advances in technology required measurements at the atomic scale. It has since become standard in many scientific disciplines.
Current Use
Nanometers are widely used in fields like nanotechnology, semiconductor manufacturing, and molecular biology to measure incredibly small distances.

A meter (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI).
History
The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. It has undergone several redefinitions since then.
Current Use
Meters are used in everyday measurements and are essential in various fields, including engineering, construction, and physics.
