“Just How Small Is A Nanometer? One nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. - One nanometer is 1/80,000 of a single human hair. - One nanometer is about as long as your fingernail grows in one second. - A single flu virus is about 100 nanometers wide. - A single red blood cell is about 10,000 nanometers wide. - 25 million nanometers equal one inch.… ”

“Does a virus have color? Actually, no. Because viruses are smaller than the wavelength of light (400-700 nanometer), they hide within its waves and can only be seen with an electron microscope. Viruses range in size from 20-300 nm. Yet, most images of viruses are pseudocolored, either to visualize detail or for aesthetic appeal. • Glass artist Luke… ”

“…here: http://www.k2.phys.waseda.ac.jp/F1movies/F1long.htm Notice the rotation is slower with longer rods. The rotor produces a torque of 40 pN nm (40 pico Newtons x nanometer), irrespective of the load. This would be the force you would need to rotate a 500 m long rod while standing at the bottom of a large swimming pool at the rate shown in the… ”

“…made by a scanning tunneling microscope that weighs 2 tons and operates at -268 degrees Celsius (or 450.5 degrees below zero on the Fahrenheit scale). A needle comes within 1 nanometer of each atom (actually diatomic carbon monoxide), grabs and drags it across the surface of a tiny chip to a new location..you can hear the dragging sound in the "behind… ”

“…the electrons emit light at a very specific wavelength, called H alpha. This wavelength happens to be in the red portion of the spectrum of visible light, specifically 656.2 nanometers (one nanometer is one-billionth of a meter). Not only does the North America Nebula emit pleasing red light, but it is also a star-forming region. This is evidenced by a… ”

“…centuries, yielding top-of-the-line machines necessary for industry. As scientists move toward nanotechnology, however, the focus has shifted toward creating alloys at the nanometer scale—producing materials with properties unlike their predecessors. Now, research at the University of Pittsburgh demonstrates that nanometer-scale alloys possess the ability… ”

“…production of novel phenotypes is a crucial but often overlooked aspect of diversification. Starlings are a speciose group characterized by diverse iridescent colors produced by nanometer-scale arrays of melanin-containing organelles (melanosomes) that play a central role in sexual selection and social competition. We show that evolutionary lability of these… ”
