While nanotechnology offers transformative potential, it also introduces several vulnerabilities:
1. Material Degradation: Nanoscale materials may degrade differently compared to their bulk counterparts, potentially leading to unexpected failures. 2. Biocompatibility Issues: Nanoparticles can interact with biological systems in unpredictable ways, causing toxicity or immune responses. 3. Data Security: Advanced nanodevices often rely on interconnected systems and sensors, making them susceptible to cyber-attacks. 4. Manufacturing Defects: The complexity of manufacturing at the nanoscale can lead to defects that are difficult to detect and correct.
