Attonewton
An attonewton (aN) is a unit of force equal to 10^-18 newtons.
History/Origin
The attonewton is part of the SI prefixes system, introduced to measure extremely small forces, with its usage becoming more relevant in nanotechnology and precision measurements.
Current Use
Attonewtons are used in scientific research involving microscopic forces, such as in atomic and molecular physics, and in nanotechnology applications where very small forces are measured.
Femtonewton
A femtonewton (fN) is a unit of force equal to 10^-15 newtons.
History/Origin
The femtonewton is part of the metric system's SI prefixes, introduced to measure extremely small forces, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts involving micro- or nano-scale phenomena.
Current Use
Femtonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, molecular physics, and precision measurements where forces at the femtonewton scale are relevant.
