About these units

Gram-Force

Gram-force (gf) is the force exerted by the weight of one gram under standard gravity. It’s a small unit of force often used in applications like measuring the tension of lightweight objects or precision instruments. Although it’s not an SI unit, gram-force provides an intuitive way to represent small forces.

Piconewtons

A piconewton (pN) is one-trillionth of a newton. It’s often used in biophysics to measure forces within cells or the binding strength between molecules, providing a unit that’s suitable for describing the tiny interactions within biological systems.
