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.
Square Mile (mi²)
A square mile equals 640 acres or about 2.58999 km². It is the primary unit for describing large areas in the United States and the UK, particularly in geography and land-use planning. City sizes, county boundaries, national park dimensions, and lake surfaces are often expressed in square miles. Because of its large scale, it is ideal for measuring political subdivisions, conservation zones, and territorial claims. The square mile also appears in demographic statistics—such as population density—and in historical surveys of American frontiers, where square-mile sections formed the backbone of land distribution policies.
