To help compare different
orders of magnitude this page lists
lengths between 10
-8 and 10
-7 m (10
nm and 100 nm).
'
Distances shorter than 10 nm'
★ 20 nm — width of
bacterial
flagellum
★ 40 nm — extreme
ultraviolet wavelength
★ 65 nm — size of the smallest transistors in a microprocessor produced in
2006.
★ 90 nm —
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (Generally,
viruses range in size from 20 nm to 450 nm.)
★ <100 nm — 90% of the particles of wood smoke
