I'm looking for URL's of MEMS and MEMS research, escpecially consumer
level articles with pictures, etc.  Small bananas to researchers, but my
bright 8 year old has been making super tiny oragami that I can hardly
even see, and I think he might really be intrigured with this new branch
of science.  Suggestions?

http://www.bearkgd.com has SEM pictures of examples of bulk micromachined
silicon devices used for making temporary electrical contact to either bare
semiconductor die bond pads, or to chip scale package solder balls.  The
devices combine the use of mechanical features to break thru the pad or
ball oxides for good electrical contact, and thin film technology to
connect the mechanical features electrically to wire bond pads.    Your 8
year old can see 4000 Angstrom high features on the top of a 75 micron high
pedestal, along with gold wire bonds using 25 micron dia wire.
