To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −9 and 10 −8 m (1 nm and 10 nm). 1 nm – diameter of a carbon nanotube; 1 nm – roughly the length of a sucrose molecule, calculated by Albert Einstein; 2.3 nm – length of a phospholipid; 2.3 nm – smallest gate oxide thickness in microprocessors
