Convert picojoule/second to nanowatt
Please provide values below to convert picojoule/second [pJ/s] to nanowatt [nW], or Convert nanowatt to picojoule/second.
1 pJ/s = 0.001 nW. To convert picojoule/second to nanowatt, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nW = 1000 pJ/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 pJ/s = 0.001 nW
- 1 nW = 1000 pJ/s
- 10 pJ/s = 0.01 nW
- 100 pJ/s = 0.1 nW
How to Convert Picojoule/second to Nanowatt
1 pJ/s = 0.001 nW
Example: convert 15 pJ/s to nW:
15 pJ/s = 15 × 0.001 nW = 0.015 nW

Picojoule/second
A picojoule per second (pJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillionth of a joule per second, representing an extremely small rate of energy transfer.
History/Origin
The picojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'pico' denoting a factor of 10^-12. It has been used in scientific contexts requiring precise measurement of very small power levels, especially in fields like nanotechnology and low-power electronics.
Current Use
This unit is used in scientific and engineering applications to quantify extremely low power levels, such as in nanotechnology, bioelectronics, and other fields where minute energy transfer rates are relevant.
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 picojoule/second in nanowatt?
1 picojoule/second (pJ/s) = 0.001 nanowatt (nW).
How do you convert picojoule/second to nanowatt?
Multiply the picojoule/second value by 0.001. For example, 25 pJ/s × 0.001 = 0.025 nW.
What is 10 picojoule/second in nanowatt?
10 pJ/s = 0.01 nW.
Which unit is larger, the picojoule/second or the nanowatt?
The nanowatt is the larger unit: 1 pJ/s equals only 0.001 nW.
