nS = GS × 1.000000000e+18
About Gigasiemens
The gigasiemens (GS) equals 10⁹ S, the conductance equivalent of a 1 nΩ resistance and numerically identical to the CGS-EMU absiemens. Short, thick copper interconnects in power electronics - such as a 10 mm thick 10 cm² copper slug - approach 1 GS conductance; cryogenically cooled metallic bar specimens near absolute zero show gigasiemens values. 1 GS = 10⁹ S = 1 abS.
About Nanosiemens
The nanosiemens (nS) equals 10⁻⁹ S, the scale for JFET gate leakage, ion-channel patch-clamp measurements, and high-value resistor characterisation. A 1 GΩ resistor presents 1 nS; single open ion channels in biological membranes are quantified in nanosiemens by patch-clamp electrophysiology; environmental soil conductivity sensors use nanosiemens readouts at high resistivity. 1 nS = 10⁻³ µS = 10⁻⁹ S.
