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.
Femtowatt
A femtowatt (fW) is a unit of power equal to 10^-15 watts, representing an extremely small amount of power.
History/Origin
The femtowatt was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very small quantities of power, particularly in scientific and technological contexts, gaining recognition as the need to quantify minute power levels grew.
Current Use
Femtowatts are used in fields such as quantum physics, nanotechnology, and optical measurements, where precise measurement of extremely low power levels is required.
