Convert picowatt to attojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert picowatt [pW] to attojoule/second [aJ/s], or Convert attojoule/second to picowatt.
1 pW = 1000000 aJ/s. To convert picowatt to attojoule/second, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aJ/s = 1e-06 pW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 pW = 1000000 aJ/s
- 1 aJ/s = 1e-06 pW
- 10 pW = 10000000 aJ/s
- 100 pW = 100000000 aJ/s
How to Convert Picowatt to Attojoule/second
1 pW = 1000000 aJ/s
Example: convert 15 pW to aJ/s:
15 pW = 15 × 1000000 aJ/s = 15000000 aJ/s

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.
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.
