21 examples of Nanometers in a sentence

And if we just take one cell's worth of this code and unwind it, it's a meter long, two nanometers thick.
Two nanometers is 20 atoms in thickness.
And, well, you need this system to move the laser through, for example, at the very accurate level, about 200 nanometers, so very accurate.
DNA is about two nanometers across, which is really quite tiny.
But in each one of your cells, each strand of DNA is about 30 to 40 million nanometers long.
The way you measure nanotechnology is in nanometers, and one nanometer is a billionth of a meter, and to put some scale to that, if you had a nanoparticle that was one nanometer thick, and you put it side by side, and you had 50,000 of them, you'd be the width of a human hair.
So we made it very small, so things were about 30 nanometers in size; making it very cold, so at liquid helium temperatures; and changing environment by changing the voltage, and the electrons could make flow around a loop one at a time, on and off, a little memory node.
And thermal expansion control of the head, enabled by placing a heater under the magnetic writer, allowed it to fly less than five nanometers above the disc's surface, about the width of two strands of DNA.
Nanotechnology allows us to shrink the parts that make up the detector from the width of a human hair, which is 100 microns, to a thousand times smaller, which is 100 nanometers.
So in this image, what you can see is that everything smaller than five nanometers is going from the blood, through the kidney, into the urine, and everything else that's bigger is retained.
They measure just 30 to 150 nanometers in diameter.
The bubbles that are trapped inside those inks vary between a few millimeters, a few microns or even a few nanometers in size.
The most advanced transistors today are at 65 nanometers, and we've seen, and I've had the pleasure to invest in, companies that give me great confidence that we'll extend Moore's Law all the way down to roughly the 10 nanometer scale.
And that has feature sizes down to about 20 nanometers, and it's a complex 3D structure.
Now, I have very thin hair, so my hair is approximately 40,000 nanometers in diameter.
Before Lifesaver, the best hand filters were only capable of filtering down to about 200 nanometers.
The smallest bacteria is about 200 nanometers.
The smallest virus, on the other hand, is about 25 nanometers.
Lifesaver pores are 15 nanometers.
In the electrical transmission mediated by gap junctions, the plasma membranes of adjacent neurons are separated by a gap of about two nanometers (two-billionths of a meter), but contain small channels (the gap junctions) that connect the cytoplasm of the adjoining neurons, permitting the diffusion of small molecules and the flow of electric current.
For example, it has been estimated that if we were to use sections of about 35 square micrometers (millionths of a meter) at a thickness of 20 nanometers, we would need more than 1.4 billion sections to reconstruct fully just one cubic millimeter of tissue.
