About these units

Femtonewtons

A femtonewton (fN) is one-quadrillionth of a newton. It is used in experimental physics and nanotechnology to measure forces at the atomic scale, such as the forces involved in the interaction between nanoparticles.

Micronewtons

A micronewton (µN) is equal to one-millionth of a newton. This unit is useful in contexts like aerospace and nanoengineering, where extremely small forces come into play, such as measuring the thrust of small satellite propulsion systems.
