Convert femtonewton to nanonewton
Please provide values below to convert femtonewton [fN] to nanonewton [nN], or Convert nanonewton to femtonewton.
1 fN = 1e-06 nN. To convert femtonewton to nanonewton, multiply the value by 1e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nN = 1000000 fN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 fN = 1e-06 nN
- 1 nN = 1000000 fN
- 10 fN = 1e-05 nN
- 100 fN = 0.0001 nN
How to Convert Femtonewton to Nanonewton
1 fN = 1e-06 nN
Example: convert 15 fN to nN:
15 fN = 15 × 1e-06 nN = 1.5e-05 nN

Femtonewton
A femtonewton (fN) is a unit of force equal to 10^-15 newtons.
History/Origin
The femtonewton is part of the metric system's SI prefixes, introduced to measure extremely small forces, particularly in scientific and engineering contexts involving micro- or nano-scale phenomena.
Current Use
Femtonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, molecular physics, and precision measurements where forces at the femtonewton scale are relevant.
Nanonewton
A nanonewton (nN) is a unit of force equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a newton.
History/Origin
The nanonewton was introduced as part of the SI system's prefix-based units to measure very small forces, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, following the adoption of the SI units and prefixes.
Current Use
Nanonewtons are used in fields such as nanotechnology, materials science, and precision instrumentation to quantify extremely small forces.
