About Nanometres per Second
A nanometre per second (nm/s) is 10⁻⁹ m/s - the speed of atomic-scale processes. AFM tips scanning surfaces move at 1-100 nm/s to resolve atomic steps. Kinesin molecular motors walk along microtubules at ~1,000-8,000 nm/s, stepping 8 nm per ATP cycle. Piezoelectric nano-positioners in electron microscopes and gravitational-wave interferometers are driven at nm/s for sub-nanometre position control. Crystal growth in solution can proceed at 1-10 nm/s under controlled conditions. 1 nm/s = 10⁻⁹ m/s.
About Miles per Minute
A mile per minute (mi/min) = exactly 26.8224 m/s = 60 mph. The X-15 rocket plane flew at ~4.5 mi/min (Mach 6.7); the SR-71 Blackbird at ~2.1 mi/min (Mach 3.2). Speed of sound at sea level ≈ 0.77 mi/min. 'Mile-a-minute' (60 mph = 1 mi/min) was a historic railway milestone first achieved on the Great Western Railway in the 1840s. 1 mi/min = 96.5604 km/h.
