What does calorie (IT)/second measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer of one International Table calorie per second, often used to express thermal power or heat-transfer rates.

Why convert calorie (IT)/second to attojoule/second?

Converting to attojoule/second allows translating historical thermal power data into very small SI power units useful for modern nanoscale and quantum measurements.

What fields use attojoule/second units?

Attojoule/second is used in ultra-low-power microelectronics, quantum devices, nanoscale thermal metrology, and cryogenic research to quantify extremely small energy transfer rates.
