Convert attosecond to microsecond
Please provide values below to convert attosecond [as] to microsecond [µs], or Convert microsecond to attosecond.
How to Convert Attosecond to Microsecond
1 as = 1e-12 µs
Example: convert 15 as to µs:
15 as = 15 × 1e-12 µs = 1.5e-11 µs

Attosecond
An attosecond is a unit of time equal to 10^-18 seconds, used to measure extremely short durations, particularly in atomic and subatomic processes.
History/Origin
The attosecond was introduced in the early 21st century as scientists developed ultrafast laser techniques to observe electron dynamics, marking a significant advancement in time measurement at atomic scales.
Current Use
Attoseconds are primarily used in physics and chemistry to study ultrafast phenomena such as electron movements, chemical reactions, and quantum dynamics, often through attosecond laser pulses and spectroscopy.
Microsecond
A microsecond is a unit of time equal to one millionth of a second (10^-6 seconds).
History/Origin
The microsecond was introduced in the 20th century as part of the metric system to measure very short time intervals, especially in electronics and computing.
Current Use
Microseconds are used in various fields such as computing, telecommunications, and physics to measure very brief durations, including processor speeds, signal timings, and scientific experiments.
