Convert picowatt to nanojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert picowatt [pW] to nanojoule/second [nJ/s], or Convert nanojoule/second to picowatt.
1 pW = 0.001 nJ/s. To convert picowatt to nanojoule/second, multiply the value by 0.001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nJ/s = 1000 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 = 0.001 nJ/s
- 1 nJ/s = 1000 pW
- 10 pW = 0.01 nJ/s
- 100 pW = 0.1 nJ/s
How to Convert Picowatt to Nanojoule/second
1 pW = 0.001 nJ/s
Example: convert 15 pW to nJ/s:
15 pW = 15 × 0.001 nJ/s = 0.015 nJ/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.
Nanojoule/second
A nanojoule per second (nJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one nanojoule of energy per second.
History/Origin
The nanojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'nano' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It is used in contexts requiring very small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering fields.
Current Use
The nJ/s is used in scientific research, nanotechnology, and precise energy transfer measurements where extremely low power levels are involved, often in the context of nanoscale systems or experiments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 picowatt in nanojoule/second?
1 picowatt (pW) = 0.001 nanojoule/second (nJ/s).
How do you convert picowatt to nanojoule/second?
Multiply the picowatt value by 0.001. For example, 25 pW × 0.001 = 0.025 nJ/s.
What is 10 picowatt in nanojoule/second?
10 pW = 0.01 nJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the picowatt or the nanojoule/second?
The nanojoule/second is the larger unit: 1 pW equals only 0.001 nJ/s.
