What does picojoule per second measure?

Picojoule per second quantifies very small continuous power levels such as those in microelectronics and photonics, equivalent to 10⁻¹² watts.

How is calorie (th)/minute defined in this conversion?

Calorie (th)/minute is a power unit equal to one thermochemical calorie delivered per minute, representing heat or energy transfer at approximately 0.0697333 watts.

Why are the conversion results so small?

The units differ greatly in magnitude, with picojoule/second representing extremely tiny power and calorie (th)/minute reflecting a larger scale of heat transfer, leading to very small decimal output values.
