Convert nanowatt to picowatt
Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to picowatt [pW], or Convert picowatt to nanowatt.
1 nW = 1000 pW. To convert nanowatt to picowatt, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pW = 0.001 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 = 1000 pW
- 1 pW = 0.001 nW
- 10 nW = 10000 pW
- 100 nW = 100000 pW
How to Convert Nanowatt to Picowatt
1 nW = 1000 pW
Example: convert 15 nW to pW:
15 nW = 15 × 1000 pW = 15000 pW

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.
Picowatt
A picowatt (pW) is a unit of power equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a watt.
History/Origin
The picowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of power, especially in scientific and technological contexts, following the standardization of the watt as the SI unit of power.
Current Use
Picowatts are used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify very low power levels, including in sensor measurements, quantum physics, and nanotechnology applications.
