AI overview
An ångström is an extremely tiny unit of measurement equal to one ten-billionth of a metre, used to describe the sizes of atoms and the wavelengths of light. The unit was named after Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström and remains useful in physics and chemistry for measuring things too small to see with the naked eye.
