To 'have a chip on your shoulder' means to have an irrational resentment directed at other people (especially those who are not a member of a group or community which you identify with) because of a sense of inferiority (or an erroneous impression that others see you as inferior).
Part of the Nanotechnology glossary: A nanometer is a unit of spatial measurement that is 10-9 meter, or one billionth of a meter. It is commonly used in nanotechnology, the building of extremely small machines. This was last updated in September 2005. Contributor(s): Ian Pulham.
At this scale, we have our micrometer divided into. thousandths. One 1000th of a micrometer is a nanometer, or nm. Notice that the. nanometer is three orders of magnitude smaller than the micrometer, which is. three orders of magnitude smaller than the millimeter, which is three orders of. magnitude smaller than the meter. Therefore, one nanometer is 1/1,000,000,000. of a meter. Identify and label the nm.
