Millivoltien

Millivoltien is a fictional or speculative unit used in science fiction and thought experiments to denote very small electric potential differences or to function as a currency-like unit tied to energy in micro-scale systems. It is not part of any official measurement system.

Because millivoltien is not standardized, its exact meaning varies by author or work. Some treat 1 millivoltien as equal to 0.001 volt, making it a practical scale for nanoscale electronics. Others use millivoltien as a purely qualitative or unitless quantity used to express relative energy budgets or efficiency in fictional technologies.

The term blends milli- with volt and the suffix -ien, following a common pattern in invented measurement units. Its usage tends to reflect the narrative needs of the setting, rather than a universal physical definition, and can be adapted to emphasize micro-scale energy flow, device sensitivity, or economic budgeting within a story world.
