I have a physical problem with length scales on the order of nanometers. After some calculations, I have to calculate things like exp(-1e15) which is 0 according to MATLAB, but in reality it is nonzero. For context exp(-700) is already 9.8e-305 which is close to the smallest number in MATLAB 2.2251e-308. Is there a known workaround for things like his?

I guess the obvious suggestion is to work in units of nanometers or maybe picometers instead of meters. Can you do that?
