Convert attojoule to millijoule
Please provide values below to convert attojoule [aJ] to millijoule [mJ], or Convert millijoule to attojoule.
1 aJ = 1.0000e-15 mJ. To convert attojoule to millijoule, multiply the value by 1.0000e-15; to go the other way, divide by it (1 mJ = 1.0000e+15 aJ). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 aJ = 1.0000e-15 mJ
- 1 mJ = 1.0000e+15 aJ
- 10 aJ = 1.0000e-14 mJ
- 100 aJ = 1.0000e-13 mJ
How to Convert Attojoule to Millijoule
1 aJ = 1e-15 mJ
Example: convert 15 aJ to mJ:
15 aJ = 15 × 1e-15 mJ = 1.5e-14 mJ

Attojoule
An attojoule (aJ) is a unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules.
History/Origin
The attojoule was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of energy, particularly in fields like nanotechnology and quantum physics, as the need to quantify very tiny energy scales grew.
Current Use
The attojoule is used in scientific research to measure minute energy quantities, such as in nanotechnology, quantum computing, and molecular biology, where energies involved are extremely small.
Millijoule
A millijoule (mJ) is a unit of energy equal to one thousandth of a joule, where 1 joule equals 1 newton meter or 1 kg·m²/s².
History/Origin
The millijoule is derived from the SI base unit joule, with the prefix 'milli' indicating a factor of 10⁻³. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure small amounts of energy, especially in fields like electronics and biomechanics.
Current Use
The millijoule is commonly used today to quantify small energy quantities in electronics, biomedical applications, and energy measurements where precision at a small scale is required.
