What does kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures power by expressing how much energy, specifically one kilocalorie (International Table), is transferred or used per minute.

Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to femtowatt?

To translate nutritional or thermal energy rates into extremely small SI units for analyzing ultra-low power signals and sensitive processes.

Where is femtowatt commonly used?

Femtowatt is applied in fields needing detection of very low power levels, such as radio astronomy, photodetection, nanoscale electronics, and cryogenics.
