About Femtojoules
A femtojoule (fJ) is 10⁻¹⁵ J - the scale of gamma-ray photons, molecular motor work, and state-of-the-art digital logic. The electron rest-mass energy is 81.87 fJ; a 100 keV X-ray photon carries 16.02 fJ. A single myosin II motor protein power stroke dissipates ~5-40 fJ. ATP hydrolysis under cellular conditions yields ~80-100 fJ of free energy. Advanced 3 nm CMOS gates switch at ~0.1-1 fJ per operation. Ultrafast fiber laser oscillators produce pulses of 0.1-10 fJ before amplification. 1 fJ = 10⁻¹⁵ J = 6.242 keV.
About Gigawatt-Hours
A gigawatt-hour (GWh) is the energy from 1 GW for one hour - exactly 3.6 TJ. National electricity generation is reported in annual GWh: Ireland ~32,000 GWh/year; France ~496,000 GWh/year. The Hornsea One offshore wind farm (1.12 GW) generates ~4,000 GWh/year. The Bath County Pumped Storage (3 GW, USA) stores ~24 GWh. World total battery storage capacity reached ~1,600 GWh by end-2022. Energy of 1 megaton TNT ≈ 1.162 GWh. 1 GWh = 3.6 TJ = 1,000 MWh = 3.412 × 10⁹ BTU.
