Newtons
A newton is the standard unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is named after Sir Isaac Newton in honor of his work in physics, particularly his second law of motion. One newton is the amount of force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. Newtons are widely used to measure forces in engineering, mechanics, and daily life, such as the force you exert when pushing a door.
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.
