10 nanometres

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10⁻⁸ and 10⁻⁷ metres (10 nanometres and 100 nanometres).

Distances shorter than 10 nanometres

• 10 nm = 10 nanometres = 10⁻⁸ metres
• 10 nm — lower size of tobacco smoke^[1]
• 10 nm — typical diameter of nanowire^{[citation needed]}
• 20 nm — width of bacterial flagellum^{[citation needed]}
• 20 nm to 80 nm — thickness of cell wall in gram-positive bacteria^{[citation needed]}
• 22 nm — Smallest feature size of production microprocessors in September 2009^[2]
• 30 nm — lower size of cooking oil smoke^[1]
• 40 nm — width of tobacco mosaic virus^{[citation needed]}
• 40 nm — extreme ultraviolet wavelength^{[citation needed]}
• 45 nm — size of the smallest transistors in a microprocessor produced in 2007.^{[citation needed]}
• 50 nm — upper size for airborne virus particles^[1]
• 90 nm — Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (Generally, viruses range in size from 20 nm to 450 nm.)^{[citation needed]}
• 100 nm — larger than 90% of the particles of wood smoke^{[citation needed]} (ranges from 7 to 3000 nanometres)^[1]
