A little bit of a nitpick, but wouldn't that be a picometer instead of angstrom node? Like, isn't a "pico-" the next magnitude smaller than "nano-", or am i wrong?

Otherwise, that chip tech sounds really awesome - at least for the future!

There are 3 orders of magnitude between nano (^-9) and pico (^-12). An Angstrom is ^-10m.

Because 1 angstrom equals 10⁻¹⁰ meters and 1 picometer equals 10⁻¹² meters, the relationship is:

1 Å = 100 pm. 1 pm = 0.01 Å.

1 picometer = 0.001 nanometers, 0.01 angstrom

1 angstrom = 0.1 nanometers, 100 picometers

1 nanometer = 10 angstroms, 1000 picometers
