What Specific Threats Do Nanotechnology Facilities Face?
Nanotechnology facilities face several unique threats:
Theft of Nanomaterials: Nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and quantum dots are expensive and can be used in a variety of high-tech applications. Espionage: Competitors or foreign entities may attempt to steal proprietary research or intellectual property. Sabotage: Disrupting research or tampering with nanomaterials can set back scientific progress and lead to significant financial losses.
