Nanometers

The nanometer (symbol: nm) or nanometre (British spelling) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter (0.000000001 m). The name combines the SI prefix nano- (from the Ancient Greek nanos, "dwarf") with the parent unit name meter (from Greek metrοn, "unit of measurement"). It can be written in scientific notation as 1×10−9 m, in engineering notation as 1 E−9 m, and is simply 1/1000000000 meters. One nanometer equals ten angstroms. Every second your nail grows 1 nanometer.

The nanometer was formerly known as the millimicrometer – or, more commonly, the millimicron for short – since it is 1/1000 of a micron (micrometer), and was often denoted by the symbol mµ or (more rarely and confusingly, since it logically should refer to a millionth of a micron) as µµ.
