What are the Challenges of Generalization in Nanotechnology?
One of the main challenges is the complexity and variability at the nanoscale. Different materials can exhibit vastly different properties at the nanoscale compared to their bulk counterparts. Additionally, the interdisciplinary nature of nanotechnology means that breakthroughs in one area (e.g., biotechnology) may not be directly applicable to another (e.g., semiconductors). This requires a deep understanding of both the fundamental science and the specific application context.
