Nanonewton (nN) to Millinewton (mN) Converter

What is a Nanonewton (nN)?

A nanonewton is one billionth (10⁻⁹) of a newton, the SI unit of force. It's commonly used in microscopic measurements, particularly in nanotechnology and molecular biology research. For perspective, the force required to break a single DNA molecule is approximately 120 piconewtons.

What is a Millinewton (mN)?

A millinewton is one thousandth (10⁻³) of a newton. This unit is frequently used in precision engineering and scientific measurements where regular newtons would be too large. For example, the force exerted by a single eyelash on your finger is roughly one millinewton.
