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).

Nautical Mile

Definition: A nautical mile (symbol: nmi or M) is 1,852 meters or approximately 1.1508 statute miles. It is based on Earth’s circumference and used in navigation.

History: Developed from the geographical mile (1 minute of latitude). The international nautical mile was standardized in 1929 for maritime and aviation use.

Current use: Globally adopted for sea navigation (nautical charts), aviation (flight plans), and maritime law (e.g., 12-nautical-mile territorial limit).
