Câu đố cuối cùng có câu trả lời bí ẩn, tuy nhiên, có thể không. Chưa biết hoặc không chắc chắn ngăn cản một câu trả lời dứt khoát là một bí ẩn [1]. Bí ẩn "chỉ có thể được đóng khung, bằng cách xác định các yếu tố quan trọng và áp dụng một số ý nghĩa của họ có tương tác như thế nào trong quá khứ và có thể tương tác trong tương lai. Bí ẩn là một nỗ lực để xác định sự mơ hồ "[1]. Trong giai đoạn trứng nước, công nghệ nano có thể có vẻ bí ẩn. | 8 The Potential Ecological Hazard of Nanomaterials Stephen R.

Unknowns or uncertainties preclude a definitive answer to a mystery 1 . A mystery can only be framed by identifying the critical factors and applying some sense of how they have interacted in the past and might interact in the future. A mystery is an attempt to define ambiguities 1 . In its infancy nanotechnology can seem mysterious to both the layperson and the scientist. Science now enables us to construct nanomaterials but paradoxically some generally accepted scientific principles do not appear to apply to their inherent biological activity. For example a substance like gold that is physiologically inert at the microscale has been shown to have biological activity at the nanoscale 2 . This change in effect can result from the fact that a particle that is less than 100 nanometers nm in size can behave more according to the laws of 169 2009 by Taylor Francis Group LLC 170 Nanotechnology and the Environment quantum physics than Newtonian physics. As the science emerges the mysteries of nanomaterials will become puzzles that will be solved. The scientific paradigms for nanotechnology may take much longer to .
