🔬 Å to nm Converter
Translate atomic-scale measurements into nanometers for easier comparison.
Useful for spectroscopy, crystallography, and semiconductor design.
525 Angstroms (Å) equals
53 Nanometers (nm)
How to Use This Calculator
Enter angstroms
Provide the measurement from diffraction data or nanoscale design specs.
Review nanometers
The converter shows the equivalent nanometer value instantly.
Use in calculations
Copy the result into reports, wavelength tables, or fabrication tolerances.
Formula
1 angstrom (Å) = 0.1 nanometers (nm)
Nanometers = Angstroms × 0.1
Angstroms = Nanometers × 10
Use the formula breakdown to confirm the calculation logic or perform the conversion manually if needed.
Full Description
Angstroms (10⁻¹⁰ meters) are common in atomic-scale measurements, while nanometers (10⁻⁹ meters) are standard in nanotechnology. Converting between them keeps teams aligned across disciplines.
This calculator uses exact SI relationships, so you can rely on the results for precise optical wavelengths or lattice constants.
Because the units differ by exactly one order of magnitude, the conversion is straightforward—but keeping a tool handy prevents typing or calculator mistakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use angstroms instead of nanometers?
Historically, crystallography and spectroscopy used angstroms. Nanometers are more SI-friendly, so conversion helps bridge legacy data.
Can I convert nanometers back to angstroms?
Yes. Multiply nanometers by 10, or use the area converter to switch direction.
Does it handle very small values?
Yes. Enter values like 0.25 Å for sub-angstrom resolutions—the result will reflect the precision.
Is angstrom an SI unit?
No. It’s a non-SI unit still widely used in physics and chemistry. Nanometer is the preferred SI-compatible unit.
