Understanding Force Conversion

What is a Newton (N)?

The newton (N) is the SI unit of force, defined as the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared. It's commonly used in physics and engineering calculations.

What is a Nanonewton (nN)?

A nanonewton (nN) is one billionth (10⁻⁹) of a newton. This extremely small unit of force is often used in nanotechnology, biological studies, and precise scientific measurements.

Common Applications

Nanonewtons are commonly used in:

  • Molecular force measurements
  • Cell adhesion studies
  • Atomic force microscopy
  • Quantum mechanical experiments
