A nanojoule is an SI-derived unit of energy equal to one billionth of a joule, used to measure very small energy amounts like laser pulses or microelectronic operations.

What does the therm (US) measure?

The therm (US) measures heat energy and is commonly used in the United States for natural gas measurement and heating system energy quantification.

Why is the conversion between nanojoule and therm (US) useful?

It helps correlate extremely small-scale energy measurements in scientific and microelectronic contexts to large-scale energy uses like heating and natural gas measurement, aiding cross-disciplinary energy accounting.
