About these units
Square Nanometer (nm²)
A square nanometer represents 10⁻¹⁸ square meters and lies firmly within the realm of molecular and atomic structures. Protein surfaces, nanoparticle coatings, molecular binding sites, and atomic lattices are often described in nm². Researchers studying catalysts, DNA interactions, or graphene sheets depend on such units to express extremely small but functionally significant surface areas. Because nm² expresses areas where chemical reactivity is determined by single molecules or atomic clusters, it is fundamental in nanotechnology, materials engineering, and molecular chemistry.
Circular Inch (circ in)
A circular inch represents the area of a circle with a diameter of exactly one inch. This yields an area of approximately 0.7854 square inches. It is sometimes used in engineering, especially in the sizing of pipes, hydraulic fittings, and certain mechanical components where circular cross-sections dominate. While not as widespread as the square inch, the circular inch offers a more direct representation of the actual shape of round components, reducing the need for manual geometric conversion.
