Convert Nanosiemens to Megasiemens
Convert Nanosiemens (nS) to Megasiemens (MS) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MS = nS × 1.000000000e-15
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.
About Megasiemens
The megasiemens (MS) equals 10⁶ S, the scale for very-low-resistance metallic structures such as thick busbars and short heavy-gauge connectors. A 10 cm long, 1 cm² copper bar has conductance of roughly 600 MS; aluminium overhead grid feeders have per-span conductances in the megasiemens range; conductance of grain boundaries in polycrystalline conductors at cryogenic temperatures reaches megasiemens. 1 MS = 10⁶ S = 10³ kS.
