What is "nanometers"

Usage examples of "nanometers".

We are working here on objects that are millionths of a millimeter in size, that is, nanometers, which is comparable to the size of individual atoms.

It is the quest to build man-made machinery of extremely small size, on the order of 100 nanometers, or a hundred billionths of a meter.

For example, by identifying the causal role of photon emissions of 600 nanometers in producing the experience of red, scientists have commonly reduced red to such photon emissions.
