New research from North Carolina (NC) State University has manufacturers and science fiction fans buzzing. Traditionally, the surface tension of metal has made it impossible to form liquid metal into any shape other than a sphere. But a new discovery allows reachers to control the surface tension to manipulate metal into a variety of new shapes. It’s not Terminator 2‘s T-1000, but it’s a step in the right direction.

 Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designsSponsored 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. |
