Convert nanowatt to microjoule/second
Please provide values below to convert nanowatt [nW] to microjoule/second [µJ/s], or Convert microjoule/second to nanowatt.
1 nW = 0.001 µJ/s. To convert nanowatt to microjoule/second, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µJ/s = 1000 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 = 0.001 µJ/s
- 1 µJ/s = 1000 nW
- 10 nW = 0.01 µJ/s
- 100 nW = 0.1 µJ/s
How to Convert Nanowatt to Microjoule/second
1 nW = 0.001 µJ/s
Example: convert 15 nW to µJ/s:
15 nW = 15 × 0.001 µJ/s = 0.015 µJ/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.
Microjoule/second
The microjoule per second (µJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one microjoule equals 10^-6 joules, transferred per second.
History/Origin
The microjoule per second originated from the need to measure very small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields like electronics and nanotechnology, as a scaled-down unit of the watt (joule per second).
Current Use
It is used in applications requiring precise measurement of low power levels, such as in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sensor technology, and research involving minute energy transfers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 nanowatt in microjoule/second?
1 nanowatt (nW) = 0.001 microjoule/second (µJ/s).
How do you convert nanowatt to microjoule/second?
Multiply the nanowatt value by 0.001. For example, 25 nW × 0.001 = 0.025 µJ/s.
What is 10 nanowatt in microjoule/second?
10 nW = 0.01 µJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the nanowatt or the microjoule/second?
The microjoule/second is the larger unit: 1 nW equals only 0.001 µJ/s.
