"Ms. Bourne does a phenomenal job of making
this aspect of science approachable," writes the Journal of
Virginia Science Education. "Along with its conversational
format, the images and examples make the information
accessible and downright fascinating."
A Consumer's Guide to MEMS & Nanotechnology provides tech
enthusiasts and the general public with a comprehensive,
easy-to-understand look at MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical
systems) and nanotechnology, and the difference they're
making in everyday products. Divided into two parts, the
first half of the book examines dozens of MEMS devices and
nanomaterials--focusing on how they work, what makes them
unique and why they're useful. The second half of the book
discusses their role in hundreds of real-life applications.
