10 nanometres
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10−8 and 10−7 metres (10 nanometres and 100 nanometres).
Distances shorter than 10 nanometres
- 10 nm = 10 nanometres = 10−8 metres
- 20 nm — width of bacterial flagellum
- 40 nm — width of tobacco mosaic virus
- 40 nm — extreme ultraviolet wavelength
- 45 nm — size of the smallest transistors in a microprocessor produced in 2007.
- 90 nm — Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (Generally, viruses range in size from 20 nm to 450 nm.)
- 100 nm — larger than 90% of the particles of wood smoke[citation needed]
Distances longer than 100 nanometres
