Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used a small crystal of ions (electrically charged atoms) to detect forces at the scale of yoctonewtons. Measurements of slight forces"”one yoctonewton is equivalent to the weight of a single copper atom on Earth"”can be useful in force microscopy, nanoscale science, and tests of fundamental physics theories.A newton is already a small unit: roughly the force of Earth's gravity on a small apple. A yoctonewton is...
