Giganewton
A giganewton (GN) is a unit of force equal to one billion newtons (10^9 N).
History/Origin
The giganewton was introduced as part of the metric system's extension to larger force units, primarily for scientific and engineering applications requiring large force measurements.
Current Use
Giganewtons are used in fields such as aerospace, structural engineering, and physics to quantify large forces, especially in simulations, calculations, and measurements involving substantial loads or forces.
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.
