nanometers

Measured in nanometers, or billionths of a meter, the scale of the manufacturing has become so small that researchers say they may be within a couple of years of a technological wall - the point at which building smaller or more efficient chips becomes impractical due to power constraints and the physical limits of how close silicon atoms can be placed to each other and still behave as required.

It looks similar to the CD-ROM on the left, but the scale is in nanometers instead of micrometers.
