The nanoscopic scale refers to dimensions on the order of nanometers, which are one billionth of a meter (10^-9 meters). To provide some context, a typical human hair is about 80,000 to 100,000 nanometers in diameter, while many biological molecules, such as DNA and proteins, fall within the nanoscopic range.
