About Nanocoulombs
The nanocoulomb (nC) equals 10⁻⁹ C, the typical charge scale for capacitive sensors, electrostatic discharge events, and biological ion transport measurements. A 100 pF capacitor charged to 10 V stores 1 nC; ESD sparks from contact charging can transfer 10-500 nC. 1 nC = 10⁻³ µC = 10³ pC.
About Attocoulombs
The attocoulomb (aC) equals 10⁻¹⁸ C, sitting between the elementary charge and the femtocoulomb. It arises in ultra-sensitive charge measurements: single-electron transistors, quantum capacitance probing of graphene and 2D materials, and scanning tunnelling microscopy where tip-sample charge exchange is tracked at this scale. 1 aC = 10⁻³ fC ≈ 6.24 e.
