Convert attojoule to microjoule
Please provide values below to convert attojoule [aJ] to microjoule [µJ], or Convert microjoule to attojoule.
1 aJ = 1.0000e-12 µJ. To convert attojoule to microjoule, multiply the value by 1.0000e-12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µJ = 1e+12 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-12 µJ
- 1 µJ = 1e+12 aJ
- 10 aJ = 1.0000e-11 µJ
- 100 aJ = 1.0000e-10 µJ
How to Convert Attojoule to Microjoule
1 aJ = 1e-12 µJ
Example: convert 15 aJ to µJ:
15 aJ = 15 × 1e-12 µJ = 1.5e-11 µJ

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.
Microjoule
A microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy equal to one millionth of a joule, used to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The microjoule was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate the measurement of very small energy quantities, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microjoules are commonly used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify small energy transfers, signals, or reactions, often in research and technical applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attojoule in microjoule?
1 attojoule (aJ) = 1.0000e-12 microjoule (µJ).
How do you convert attojoule to microjoule?
