Nanometers

The nanometre is a unit of length equal to one billionth of a metre (10⁻⁹ m) and represents the fundamental scale of atomic and molecular structures. The diameter of a hydrogen atom is approximately 0.1 nm, a DNA double helix is about 2 nm wide, and a typical protein ranges from 1 to 100 nm. The nanometre is the primary unit in nanotechnology, materials science, and optics: the wavelength of visible light spans roughly 380–700 nm.

Inches

The inch is a unit of length equal to exactly 25.4 millimetres, standardised under the international yard and pound agreement of 1959. It is the standard unit for screen diagonal measurements in consumer electronics, tire widths, pipe diameters in plumbing, and calibre in firearms. In typography, one inch contains exactly 72 PostScript points, fundamental to digital print and graphic design.
