At 2mm thick regular spaghetti, and ~400 nanometer thick nanospaghetti, the nanospaghetti is about 5000 times thinner than spaghetti diametrically, and pi times thinner by circumference. That's such an extreme difference it's hard to imagine how small this stuff is intuitively.

I feel like we need a word that sounds like a pasta name, not a scientific one, to describe this stuff

It would be too long with all of the -ini and -eti suffixes. Capellinettinettinettine ad infinitum
