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.
Microjoule/second
The microjoule per second (µJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one microjoule equals 10^-6 joules, transferred per second.
History/Origin
The microjoule per second originated from the need to measure very small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields like electronics and nanotechnology, as a scaled-down unit of the watt (joule per second).
Current Use
It is used in applications requiring precise measurement of low power levels, such as in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sensor technology, and research involving minute energy transfers.
