Nanometer

A nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter.

History/Origin

The term “nanometer” gained prominence in the late 20th century with the advent of nanotechnology and the development of microscopes capable of observing objects at that scale.

Current Use

The nanometer is commonly used to express dimensions on an atomic and molecular scale. It is used to specify the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation near the visible part of the spectrum and in the field of nanotechnology.


Hectometer

A hectometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 meters.

History/Origin

The prefix "hecto-" from the Greek "hekaton" meaning hundred, was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
