3 nm – the average half-pitch of a memory cell manufactured circa 2022; 3.4 nm – length of a DNA turn (10 bp) 3.8 nm – size of an albumin molecule; 5 nm – size of the gate length of a 16 nm processor; 5 nm – the average half-pitch of a memory cell manufactured circa 2019–2020; 6 nm – length of a phospholipid bilayer
The picometre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: pm) or picometer (American spelling) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 1 × 10 −12 m, or one trillionth ( 1 / 1 000 000 000 000 ) of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length.
The nanometre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: nm), or nanometer (American spelling), is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one billionth (short scale) or one thousand million (long scale) of a meter (0.000000001 m) and to 1000 picometres.
All the names with the prefix nano-are somewhat misleading, since it is usually applied to objects with dimensions on the scale of nanometers (e.g., nanoparticle, nanotechnology). The characteristic behaviour of the SDF appears when the fibre diameter is about half of the wavelength of light.
The ratio of absorbance at 260 nm vs 280 nm is commonly used to assess DNA contamination of protein solutions, since proteins (in particular, the aromatic amino acids) absorb light at 280 nm. [ 2 ] [ 7 ] The reverse, however, is not true — it takes a relatively large amount of protein contamination to significantly affect the 260:280 ratio in ...

Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.
Nanophotonics or nano-optics is the study of the behavior of light on the nanometer scale, and of the interaction of nanometer-scale objects with light. It is a branch of optics, optical engineering, electrical engineering, and nanotechnology.
