What fields commonly use the kiloelectron-volt unit?

Kiloelectron-volt is widely used in atomic, nuclear, and radiation physics to express energies of particles and photons at an atomic scale.

Why is gram-force meter considered a non-SI unit?

Gram-force meter is based on gravitational force (standard gravity) acting on a mass, which makes it a non-standard unit outside the SI system.

Can this tool handle large-scale energy conversions?

This converter is designed for precise, small-scale conversions, especially relevant to atomic and mechanical micro-energy contexts, not for large-scale general energy conversions.
