pref. [SI: the next quantifier below micro- ; meaning 10 -9 ] Smaller than micro- , and used in the same rather loose and connotative way. Thus, one has nanotechnology (coined by hacker K. Eric Drexler) by analogy with microtechnology ; and a few machine architectures have a nanocode level below microcode. Tom Duff at Bell Labs has also pointed out that Pi seconds is a nanocentury. See also quantifiers , pico- , nanoacre , nanobot , nanocomputer , nanofortnight.
