Converting from Cubic Decimeter (dm³) to Cubic Nanometer (nm³)

What is Cubic Decimeter (dm³)

A cubic decimeter (dm³) is a unit of volume that is equal to the volume of a cube with sides of 1 decimeter (10 centimeters) in length. It is commonly used in various fields such as chemistry, where it is often used to measure the volume of liquids and gases. One cubic decimeter is equal to 1 liter, making it a familiar measurement for everyday use.

What is Cubic Nanometer (nm³)

A cubic nanometer (nm³) is a much smaller unit of volume compared to a cubic decimeter. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides measuring 1 nanometer (1 billionth of a meter or 10^-9 meters). This unit is frequently used in nanotechnology and materials science, where measurements at the atomic or molecular scale are necessary. The cubic nanometer is essential for understanding properties of materials on the nanoscale.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from cubic decimeters to cubic nanometers and vice versa, the following formulas are used:

• To convert from dm³ to nm³:

  volumenm3​=volumedm3​×1027

• To convert from nm³ to dm³:

  volumedm3​=volumenm3​×10−30
