Improved training in nanotechnology should focus on several core areas:
1. Fundamental Knowledge: A strong foundation in the principles of nanoscience and nanomaterials is essential. This includes understanding the unique properties of materials at the nanoscale.
3. Safety Protocols: Given the potential health and environmental risks associated with nanomaterials, training must include comprehensive safety procedures and regulations.
4. Interdisciplinary Approach: Nanotechnology intersects with multiple fields. Training should therefore include elements of chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering.
