New Book Introduces Kids
to the
Wonders of MEMS and Nanotechnology
MEMS and Nanotechnology
for Kids provides a basic introduction to MEMS (MicroElectro-
Mechanical Systems) and nanomaterials, and demonstrates
that small is cool!
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., September 18, 2007 - Bourne Research
LLC today announced publication of the new book, MEMS
and Nanotechnology for Kids . Authored by Marlene
Bourne, President & Principal Analyst of Bourne Research,
the book gives readers a basic overview of MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical
Systems) and nanotechnology; it describes how various MEMS
devices and nanomaterials work, why they're useful, and
includes examples of where they're found.
"Sparking the imagination of kids about the possibilities
of technology is so important," says the author, Marlene
Bourne. " MEMS and Nanotechnology for Kids aims
to inspire boys and girls alike to pursue the study of
science, technology, engineering and math by showing the
direct impact these fields have on things kids use or interact
with on a daily basis."
MEMS and Nanotechnology for Kids is written
for middle school students ages 11-14, although younger
children and adults alike may also benefit from the easy-to-read
explanations. With nearly 80 color photos, the 32-page
book explores what readers can find at the micro- and nano-scale,
and then describes how various MEMS devices and nanomaterials
are being put to use in all kinds of products. It's an
ideal companion to the more in-depth book, A Consumer's
Guide to MEMS and Nanotechnology , which provides
greatly expanded discussion and hundreds of examples in
the same reader-friendly format.
