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.

Nanonewtons

A nanonewton (nN) is one-billionth of a newton. It is used in scientific fields such as molecular physics or nanotechnology, where incredibly tiny forces, like those between individual atoms or molecules, are measured.
