Unit Description
Nanowatt (nW)
Definition
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10⁻⁹ W). It represents incredibly small amounts of power found in advanced microelectronics, quantum devices, and ultra-sensitive scientific instruments.
History
The nanowatt became relevant with the development of nanotechnology and quantum electronics. It provided a scale for describing power levels in quantum devices, advanced semiconductors, and ultra-sensitive measurement systems where power consumption approaches fundamental limits.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in nanotechnology, quantum electronics, ultra-sensitive instruments, and advanced research applications. They're essential for quantum device specifications, nanoelectronics, and precision scientific measurements at the molecular level.
Metric Horsepower (PS)
Definition
Metric horsepower (PS) is a unit of power equal to 75 kilogram-force meters per second, approximately 735.5 watts. It's the metric equivalent of horsepower, used primarily in European automotive and mechanical applications.
History
Metric horsepower was developed as a metric alternative to the imperial horsepower unit. It became standard in European automotive and mechanical industries, providing a power unit consistent with metric measurements while maintaining familiarity with the horsepower concept.
Current Use
Metric horsepower is used in European automotive specifications, mechanical equipment ratings, and industrial machinery. It's standard for European car engine ratings, machinery specifications, and mechanical power systems in metric countries.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Nanowatt to Metric Horsepower
- Conversion Factor: 1 nW = 1.35962e-12 PS
- Conversion Formula: PS = nW ÷ 7.35499e+11
- Calculation: 1 nW ÷ 7.35499e+11 = 1.35962e-12 PS
Convert 10 Nanowatt to Metric Horsepower
- Conversion Factor: 1 nW = 1.35962e-12 PS
- Conversion Formula: PS = nW ÷ 7.35499e+11
- Calculation: 10 nW ÷ 7.35499e+11 = 1.35962e-11 PS
Convert 100 Nanowatt to Metric Horsepower
- Conversion Factor: 1 nW = 1.35962e-12 PS
- Conversion Formula: PS = nW ÷ 7.35499e+11
- Calculation: 100 nW ÷ 7.35499e+11 = 1.35962e-10 PS
Convert 1,000 Nanowatt to Metric Horsepower
- Conversion Factor: 1 nW = 1.35962e-12 PS
- Conversion Formula: PS = nW ÷ 7.35499e+11
- Calculation: 1,000 nW ÷ 7.35499e+11 = 1.35962e-9 PS
