About Micronewtons per metre

The micronewton per metre (µN/m) equals 10⁻⁶ N/m, used in precision thin-film capillarity studies and cryogenic surface-tension measurements. Liquid helium-4 at 2 K has a surface tension of ~0.37 mN/m (370 µN/m); liquid ³He near absolute zero is even lower. Numerically identical to µJ/m². 1 µN/m = 10⁻³ mN/m.

About Piconewtons per metre

The piconewton per metre (pN/m) equals 10⁻¹² N/m, used in ultra-sensitive line-tension measurements of surfactant monolayers at the Langmuir trough and in atomic force microscopy (AFM) calibration. Lipid domain boundary line tensions in biological membranes are typically 1-10 pN. 1 pN/m = 10⁻³ nN/m = 10⁻⁹ mN/m.
