Examining the extremely small

Futurum

A nanometre (nm) is a unit of measurement equal to a billionth of a metre, or 0.000001 mm. This realisation inspired the creation of the Center for NanoScience (CeNS), a network of nanoscience research groups in Munich, Germany. A key reason for supporting this collaboration is the diversity of research within the field of nanoscience.
