Uncertainty in nanotechnology arises for several reasons:
Novelty of Materials: Many nanomaterials are newly discovered or synthetically created, and their properties often differ significantly from their bulk counterparts. Complex Interactions: The behavior of materials at the nanoscale can involve complex quantum effects and other interactions that are not well understood. Measurement Challenges: Tools and techniques for measuring and manipulating at the nanoscale are continually evolving, which can lead to inconsistencies and inaccuracies.
