Convert picowatt to attowatt
Please provide values below to convert picowatt [pW] to attowatt [aW], or Convert attowatt to picowatt.
1 pW = 1000000 aW. To convert picowatt to attowatt, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 aW = 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 aW
- 1 aW = 1e-06 pW
- 10 pW = 10000000 aW
- 100 pW = 100000000 aW
How to Convert Picowatt to Attowatt
1 pW = 1000000 aW
Example: convert 15 pW to aW:
15 pW = 15 × 1000000 aW = 15000000 aW

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.
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.
