Here's a Peek Inside!
Back Cover
Small is cool! What is nanotechnology? What are MEMS? And what makes them
so special? Welcome to the wonderful world of really small stuff. Things
so tiny, you need special microscopes to even see them.
MEMS and Nanotechnology for Kids explores what you can find at the micro-
and nano-scale; where you’ll discover all sorts of amazingly small
sensors, structures and materials. You’ll learn what they do and
how they work, then find out why they’re useful in all kinds of products,
from bikes to video games.
Did you know that the ancient Egyptians were among the first to use nanoparticles
in cosmetics? That MEMS sensors can monitor pressure—right inside
your heart? Find out how the technologies of tomorrow are being applied
in real products today.
