Convert attonewton to newton
Attonewton
The attonewton (aN) is a unit of force equal to 10−18 newtons, making it among the smallest named force units in the SI system. Forces at this scale are encountered in quantum physics experiments, particularly in studies of radiation pressure, quantum vacuum fluctuations, and ultra-cold atom traps. Extremely sensitive nanomechanical resonators and atomic force microscope variants have demonstrated sensitivity in the attonewton range. It follows the standard SI prefix "atto-" for 10−18.
Newton
The newton (symbol: N) is the SI unit of force, named after Sir Isaac Newton. One newton is the force needed to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at one metre per second squared (1 N = 1 kg·m/s²). Roughly the weight of a small (100 g) apple under standard gravity, it is the base unit used throughout physics and engineering to express force, weight and thrust.
