Micrometer (µm)
Definition: A micrometer (symbol: µm), or micron, is one-millionth of a meter (0.000001 m). It measures microscopic structures like cells and wavelengths of infrared light.
History: Gained prominence with the development of microscopy in the 17th century. The term 'micron' was officially deprecated in 1967 in favor of 'micrometer' to align with SI standards.
Current use: Critical in biology (cell diameters), semiconductor manufacturing (transistor features), and air quality monitoring (particulate matter like PM2.5).
Nanometer (nm)
Definition: A nanometer (symbol: nm) is one-billionth of a meter (0.000000001 m). It operates at the atomic and molecular scale, pivotal for nanotechnology and quantum physics.
History: Became relevant in the late 20th century with advances in electron microscopy and the rise of nanotechnology. The 1983 meter definition enabled its precise standardization.
Current use: Fundamental in chip fabrication (CPU node sizes, e.g., 7nm), DNA research (helix width ≈ 2nm), and optics (visible light wavelengths range 380–700nm).
