nanoatoms to nanomoles   (03/07/2008, 7:38 AM)

I am writing referring to:

https://www.convertunits.com/from/nanomoles/to/nanoatoms

i.e. the conversion of nanoatoms to nanomoles.

While your conversion strategy is *entirely logical*, I would like to point out that the units "milliatoms" and "microatoms" (and by extension "nanoatoms") are often used as a pure *mass unit* (especially in radiation physics),
meaning

1 microatom = 1 microgram of atoms (NOT 10^-6 atoms!)

While your definition of nanoatom (based on 1 microatom = 10^-6 atoms) is far more logical (and potentially SI correct), this is *not* the definition used in most scientific literature, and could be confusing to people who use your site.
