Convert nanowatt to attowatt

Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to attowatt [aW], or Convert attowatt to nanowatt.

1 nW = 1000000000 aW. To convert nanowatt to attowatt, multiply the value by 1000000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aW = 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 aW
  • 1 aW = 1e-09 nW
  • 10 nW = 10000000000 aW
  • 100 nW = 100000000000 aW



How to Convert Nanowatt to Attowatt

1 nW = 1000000000 aW

Example: convert 15 nW to aW:
15 nW = 15 × 1000000000 aW = 15000000000 aW

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.


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.
