Convert nanowatt to attojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to attojoule/second [aJ/s], or Convert attojoule/second to nanowatt.
1 nW = 1000000000 aJ/s. To convert nanowatt to attojoule/second, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aJ/s = 1e-09 nW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nW = 1000000000 aJ/s
- 1 aJ/s = 1e-09 nW
- 10 nW = 10000000000 aJ/s
- 100 nW = 100000000000 aJ/s
How to Convert Nanowatt to Attojoule/second
1 nW = 1000000000 aJ/s
Example: convert 15 nW to aJ/s:
15 nW = 15 × 1000000000 aJ/s = 15000000000 aJ/s

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.
Attojoule/second
An attojoule per second (aJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion of one attojoule (10^-18 joules) per second.
History/Origin
The attojoule is a relatively recent SI prefix introduced to measure extremely small quantities of energy, and its use in power units like aJ/s has emerged with advancements in nanotechnology and quantum physics, though it remains a specialized unit with limited historical usage.
Current Use
The aJ/s is used in scientific research involving extremely low power measurements, such as in quantum physics, nanotechnology, and energy transfer studies at the atomic or molecular scale.
