nanosiemens

Electrical conductanceexact by definition

The nanosiemens is one billionth of a siemens, the conductance of a one gigaohm path. Insulation leakage, chemiresistive gas sensor response and whole-cell membrane conductance are commonly reported here. The factor of 1e-9 is exact, being an SI prefix.
