What is a nanojoule used for?

A nanojoule measures extremely small energy amounts such as pulse energy in lasers, energy per operation in microelectronics, and energy stored in micro-scale devices.

Why convert nanojoule to thermochemical calorie?

Conversion allows relating tiny modern energy measurements to historical thermochemical units used in older calorimetry and educational contexts.

Is the thermochemical calorie still commonly used today?

The thermochemical calorie is mostly historical and replaced by the joule, so it is primarily used for legacy data and instructional purposes.
