Convert attojoule to nanojoule
Please provide values below to convert attojoule [aJ] to nanojoule [nJ], or Convert nanojoule to attojoule.
1 aJ = 1e-09 nJ. To convert attojoule to nanojoule, multiply the value by 1e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nJ = 1000000000 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 = 1e-09 nJ
- 1 nJ = 1000000000 aJ
- 10 aJ = 1e-08 nJ
- 100 aJ = 1e-07 nJ
How to Convert Attojoule to Nanojoule
1 aJ = 1e-09 nJ
Example: convert 15 aJ to nJ:
15 aJ = 15 × 1e-09 nJ = 1.5e-08 nJ

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.
Nanojoule
A nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a joule.
History/Origin
The nanojoule was introduced as part of the SI unit system to measure very small amounts of energy, especially in scientific and technological contexts, with its usage becoming more common with advancements in nanotechnology and micro-scale energy measurements.
Current Use
Nanojoules are used in fields such as electronics, nanotechnology, and physics to quantify small energy quantities, including in the measurement of energy consumption in micro- and nano-scale devices.
