Convert Millivolts to Nanovolts
Convert Millivolts (mV) to Nanovolts (nV) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
nV = mV × 1000000
About Millivolts
The millivolt (mV) equals 10⁻³ V, the everyday scale of biomedical and electrochemical measurements. ECG R-wave peaks are 0.5-3 mV; a silicon p-n junction has a forward voltage of about 600 mV; pH electrodes produce roughly 59.2 mV per pH unit (Nernst equation at 25 °C); lithium-ion cells have an end-of-discharge cutoff at 2 700-3 000 mV. 1 mV = 10⁻³ V = 10³ µV.
About Nanovolts
The nanovolt (nV) equals 10⁻⁹ V, the sensitivity scale of precision nanovoltmeters and cryogenic measurement chains. Type K thermocouples generate about 40 µV/°C, but at cryogenic temperatures the Seebeck coefficient drops to nanvolts per kelvin; lock-in amplifiers in MEMS research resolve signals of 1-10 nV. A modern 8.5-digit benchtop multimeter (e.g. Agilent 34420A) has a nanovolt resolution range. 1 nV = 10⁻00b3 µV = 10³ pV.
