About these units

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.

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.
