Nanonewton
A nanonewton (nN) is a unit of force equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a newton.
History/Origin
The nanonewton was introduced as part of the SI system's prefix-based units to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, following the adoption of the SI units and prefixes.
Current Use
Nanonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, materials science, and precision instrumentation to quantify extremely small forces.
Millinewton
A millinewton (mN) is a unit of force equal to one thousandth of a newton.
History/Origin
The millinewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a smaller, more precise unit of force for scientific and engineering applications, especially in contexts requiring fine measurements.
Current Use
Millinewtons are used in fields such as physics, engineering, and biomechanics to measure small forces, and are commonly employed in force calibration, material testing, and precision instrumentation.
