Micronewton
A micronewton (µN) is a unit of force equal to one millionth of a newton, the SI base unit of force.
History/Origin
The micronewton was introduced as a submultiple of the newton to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, as part of the SI system standardization.
Current Use
Micronewtons are used in precision measurements in physics, engineering, and scientific research where very small forces need to be quantified accurately.
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.
