9 examples of improbable superhero technology

by Laura Domela

While some superheroes rely on powers granted to them by hazardous radiation or magical rings, others get by with science. In the Dark Knight Rises, which TIME movie critic Richard Corliss called “maybe the best, most troubling, assured and enthralling of all the superhero movies,” Batman survives by using his wits, fighting chops, money and plenty of cool gadgets. We decided to take a look at the comic book world’s most improbable technology, from out-of-this-world pseudoscience to completely pointless gizmos.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
