What are Piconewton and Nanonewton

Definition of Piconewton

A piconewton (pN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) that equals 10^-12 newtons. It represents an incredibly small force, typically used in fields like nanotechnology and molecular biology where interactions at the molecular and atomic levels are measured. The prefix 'pico-' denotes a factor of one trillionth (1/1,000,000,000,000), making the piconewton suitable for quantifying minute forces that occur in scientific experiments involving single molecules or nanoscale structures.

Definition of Nanonewton

A nanonewton (nN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) that equals 10^-9 newtons. It is used to measure small forces that are larger than those measured in piconewtons but still very minute. The prefix 'nano-' denotes a factor of one billionth (1/1,000,000,000), making nanonewtons suitable for evaluating interactions and forces in micro-engineering, biological research, and nanotechnology. This unit helps scientists and engineers quantify and study forces at the microscopic level with precision.
