Convert newton to nanonewton
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.
Nanonewton
The nanonewton (nN) is a unit of force equal to one billionth of a newton (10−9 N). It is commonly encountered in atomic force microscopy (AFM), molecular biology, and nanotechnology, where forces at the cellular and molecular scale are measured. The forces involved in stretching a single DNA molecule or manipulating individual proteins are often expressed in nanonewtons. It follows the standard SI prefix "nano-" for 10−9.
