Product Description
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. Winner of a 2008 IPPY Award (bronze medal) for best juvenile/young adult non-fiction, MEMS & 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. While written for middle school students age 11-14, younger children and adults alike may also benefit from the easy-to-read explanations. Beautifully illustrated with nearly 80 full-color photos, MEMS & Nanotechnology for Kids aims to inspire students about the possibilities of science and technology.
