Convert nanonewton to piconewton
Please provide values below to convert nanonewton [nN] to piconewton [pN], or Convert piconewton to nanonewton.
1 nN = 1000 pN. To convert nanonewton to piconewton, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pN = 0.001 nN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nN = 1000 pN
- 1 pN = 0.001 nN
- 10 nN = 10000 pN
- 100 nN = 100000 pN
How to Convert Nanonewton to Piconewton
1 nN = 1000 pN
Example: convert 15 nN to pN:
15 nN = 15 × 1000 pN = 15000 pN

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.
Piconewton
A piconewton (pN) is a unit of force equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a newton.
History/Origin
The piconewton was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very small forces, especially in fields like biophysics and nanotechnology, where forces at the molecular or atomic scale are relevant.
Current Use
The piconewton is commonly used in scientific research to quantify tiny forces, such as those exerted by molecular motors, DNA stretching experiments, and nanoscale measurements.
