What Does YN Stand For?
YN stands for Yoctonewton
YN, or Yoctonewton, is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI), representing one septillionth (10^-24) of a newton. It is used in scientific contexts to measure extremely small forces, often relevant in fields such as nanotechnology, quantum mechanics, and materials science, where the forces involved can be significantly lower than those encountered in everyday applications.
