Convert piconewton to attonewton
Please provide values below to convert piconewton [pN] to attonewton [aN], or Convert attonewton to piconewton.
1 pN = 1000000 aN. To convert piconewton to attonewton, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aN = 1e-06 pN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 pN = 1000000 aN
- 1 aN = 1e-06 pN
- 10 pN = 10000000 aN
- 100 pN = 100000000 aN
How to Convert Piconewton to Attonewton
1 pN = 1000000 aN
Example: convert 15 pN to aN:
15 pN = 15 × 1000000 aN = 15000000 aN

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.
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.
