from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angstrom:

  "An ångström or aangstroem (the official transliteration), or angstrom (symbol Å) is a
non-SI unit of length that is internationally recognized, equal to 0.1 nanometre (nm). It
is sometimes used in expressing the sizes of atoms, lengths of chemical bonds and
visible-light spectra, and dimensions of parts of integrated circuits. It is named after
Anders Jonas Ångström."
