Millinewton
A millinewton (mN) is a unit of force equal to one thousandth of a newton.
History/Origin
The millinewton was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a smaller, more precise unit of force for scientific and engineering applications, especially in contexts requiring fine measurements.
Current Use
Millinewtons are used in fields such as physics, engineering, and biomechanics to measure small forces, and are commonly employed in force calibration, material testing, and precision instrumentation.
Attonewton
An attonewton (aN) is a unit of force equal to 10^-18 newtons.
History/Origin
The attonewton is part of the SI prefixes system, introduced to measure extremely small forces, with its usage becoming more relevant in nanotechnology and precision measurements.
Current Use
Attonewtons are used in scientific research involving microscopic forces, such as in atomic and molecular physics, and in nanotechnology applications where very small forces are measured.
