What is nanotechnology? What are MEMS? And what makes them so special? A book by Marlene Bourne titled ‘MEMS and Nanotechnology for Kids‘ will be able to answer these and many other questions. Targeted to kids over 11 years of age, the book explores what you can find at the micro- and nano-scale. You will discover all sorts of amazingly small sensors, structures and materials and will learn what they do and how they work. You can then find out why they are useful in all kinds of products, from bikes to video games.
Marlene has also written a book titled ‘A Consumer’s Guide to MEMS and Nanotechnology‘ which covers the history of MEMS and nanotechnology as well as looks at examples of real life applications.
With the education section of the NanoVic website recently updated, these two publications appear to provide even more information to those seeking easy to understand explanations around nanotechnology.
Happy reading!
