“The researchers developed a nanomachine capable of delivering targeted medication to specific cells in the body.”

“Nanotechnology uses the scale of the nanometre, equal to one millionth of a millimetre.”

“These things are measured in nanometres, with a nanometre being a millionth of a millimetre, or about as far as a fingernail grows in a second.”

“The Casimir effect could also play a role in accurate force measurements between the nanometre and micrometre scales.”

“Not giving up, Keyan put the bullet under a microscope, magnifying it 1000 times and going over the surface nanometer by nanometer.”

“It may imply some mechanical flexibility of the basal body structure against deformation in nanometer scales.”

“In addition, he says, the new hydrogels have well-ordered networks of pores on both the nanometer and micrometer scales.”

“Like water beading on the surface of a freshly waxed car, the palladium formed granular clusters just a few nanometers across.”

“That distance varies from a few hundred nanometers to a few micrometers, depending on atom velocity.”

“The diagram below at right shows a virus that attacks bacteria, known as the lambda bacteriophage, which measures roughly 200 nanometers.”
