Convert piconewton to exanewton
Enter a value below to convert piconewton [pN] to exanewton [EN]. Reverse conversion: Convert exanewton to piconewton.
1 pN = 1.0000e-30 EN. To convert piconewton to exanewton, multiply the value by 1.0000e-30; to go the other way, divide by it (1 EN = 1.0000e+30 pN). Both units measure force and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Piconewton to Exanewton: Quick Reference
- 1 pN = 1.0000e-30 EN
- 1 EN = 1.0000e+30 pN
- 10 pN = 1.0000e-29 EN
- 100 pN = 1.0000e-28 EN
How to Convert Piconewton to Exanewton
1 pN = 1e-30 EN
Example: convert 15 pN to EN:
15 pN = 15 × 1e-30 EN = 1.5e-29 EN

Piconewton: Definition and Use
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.
Exanewton: Definition and Use
An exanewton (EN) is a unit of force equal to 10^18 newtons.
History/Origin
The exanewton was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent extremely large forces, following the adoption of the SI system and its prefixes in the 20th century.
Current Use
The exanewton is primarily used in theoretical physics and large-scale engineering contexts where extremely large forces are involved, though it is rarely used in practical applications due to its size.
