Convert attowatt to nanowatt
Please provide values below to convert attowatt [aW] to nanowatt [nW], or Convert nanowatt to attowatt.
1 aW = 1e-09 nW. To convert attowatt to nanowatt, multiply the value by 1e-09; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nW = 1000000000 aW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 aW = 1e-09 nW
- 1 nW = 1000000000 aW
- 10 aW = 1e-08 nW
- 100 aW = 1e-07 nW
How to Convert Attowatt to Nanowatt
1 aW = 1e-09 nW
Example: convert 15 aW to nW:
15 aW = 15 × 1e-09 nW = 1.5e-08 nW

Attowatt
An attowatt (aW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-18 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The attowatt is part of the SI prefix system introduced to denote very small quantities, with 'atto-' representing 10^-18. It has been used mainly in scientific contexts to measure minuscule power levels.
Current Use
The attowatt is rarely used in practical applications but may be referenced in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics or nanotechnology.
Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 attowatt in nanowatt?
1 attowatt (aW) = 1e-09 nanowatt (nW).
How do you convert attowatt to nanowatt?
Multiply the attowatt value by 1e-09. For example, 25 aW × 1e-09 = 2.5e-08 nW.
