Bourne Research announced publication of the new book, MEMS and Nanotechnology for Kids. "Sparking the imagination of kids about the possibilities of technology is so important," said author and president of Bourne Research, 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."

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. 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.

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.

Earlier this year, Ms. Bourne released the more in-depth book, A Consumer's Guide to MEMS and Nanotechnology. It provides greatly expanded discussion and hundreds of examples in the same reader-friendly format.

MEMS and Nanotechnology for Kids, by Marlene Bourne, is written in English. Hardcover: 32 pages (dozens of photos/illustrations). ISBN-13: 978-0979550564. Discounts for bulk purchases.
