About Nanonewtons per metre
The nanonewton per metre (nN/m) equals 10⁻⁹ N/m, encountered in AFM force spectroscopy for interfacial line-tension measurements and wetting studies on nanostructured surfaces. Colloidal particle contact lines at fluid interfaces can exert forces in the nN/m range. 1 nN/m = 10⁻³ µN/m = 10⁻⁶ 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.
