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.
Meganewton
A meganewton (MN) is a unit of force equal to one million newtons.
History/Origin
The meganewton was introduced as part of the metric system's SI units to measure larger forces, especially in engineering and physics, to provide a convenient scale for high-force measurements.
Current Use
Meganewtons are used in engineering, physics, and aerospace to quantify large forces, such as those in structural analysis, rocket propulsion, and large machinery.
