Several factors contribute to uncertainty in nanotechnology:
Scale and Complexity: Operating at the nanoscale introduces complexities that are not present in larger-scale systems. Quantum effects become significant, and predicting the behavior of materials becomes more challenging. Lack of Comprehensive Data: The rapid pace of nanotechnology research often outstrips the generation of comprehensive data needed to fully understand the implications of new materials and processes. Interdisciplinary Nature: Nanotechnology intersects with multiple scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. This interdisciplinary nature can create gaps in knowledge and understanding.
