There are indeed still some knowledge gaps, but that is this way with every new area of research. These gaps will be closed by the new findings from the numerous national, European and international projects. In our opinion there are so many positive aspects to nanotechnology (i.e. in the medical sector or in the protection of the environment.) that a moratorium would be contra productive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As many processes in nature take place on the <span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_3ddd56a982b62f20c8279dbc63e14262\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">nanoscale<\/span>, research on nanotechnology will lead to a better understanding of these natural processes.
