Nanometers (nm) are critical in nanotechnology, biology (DNA helix = 2 nm wide), and computing (transistors are 3–5 nm). A human hair is ~80,000 nm thick. Picometers (pm) describe atomic radii and X-ray wavelengths. A hydrogen atom is ~53 pm wide. Used in crystallography and semiconductor engineering.
To convert between Nanometer (nm) and Picometer (pm), use the following formulas:
1 Nanometer (nm) = 1000.0000000000001 Picometer (pm)
1 Picometer (pm) = 0.001 Nanometer (nm)
1 nm = 1 * 1000.0000000000001 pm = 1000.0000000000001 pm
10 nm = 10 * 1000.0000000000001 pm = 10000.000000000002 pm
100 nm = 100 * 1000.0000000000001 pm = 100000.00000000001 pm
500 nm = 500 * 1000.0000000000001 pm = 500000.00000000006 pm
