About the nanometer
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. It's used for wavelengths of light (visible light is about 380–750 nm), molecules and chip manufacturing processes.
Symbol: nm · 1 nm = 1 × 10⁻⁹ m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the barleycorn
The barleycorn is one third of an inch (about 8.47 mm). It's still the basis of UK and US shoe sizes, where one size step is one barleycorn.
