nanowatt
Billionth of watt
A nanowatt is one billionth of a watt—an extremely small unit of power.
The prefix nano- indicates 10⁻⁹.
Nanowatts measure the power consumption of tiny electronic components, biological processes, or faint signals: The sensor operates on just a few nanowatts.
Abbreviated nW.
