What Does AN Stand For?
AN stands for Attonewton
AN, or Attonewton, is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI) that represents one quintillionth (10^-18) of a newton. It is used to measure extremely small forces in scientific research, particularly in fields such as nanotechnology and molecular physics. The attonewton enables researchers to quantify forces at the nanoscale with precision, facilitating advancements in various applications, including material science and biomechanics.
