About Nanowatt per square metre
The nanowatt per square metre (nW/m²) equals 10⁻⁹ W/m². Used in astrophysics and cosmology for quantifying extremely weak radiation fields, such as cosmic microwave background intensity and residual thermal emission from near-absolute-zero objects. Relevant in precision cryogenic sensor calibration. 1 nW/m² = 10⁻⁹ W/m² = 10³ pW/m².
About Microwatt per square metre
The microwatt per square metre (µW/m²) equals 10⁻⁶ W/m². Encountered in geothermal science - deep crustal heat flux measurements in stable shield regions can reach a few µW/m² - and in bio-electromagnetic research for very low intensity radiation fields. 1 µW/m² = 10⁻⁶ W/m² = 10³ nW/m².
