These little things look exactly like flowers—and that’s because they’re meant to. But in real life you’d never be able to spot them, because they are in fact microscopic crystals grown on the surface of a razor blade.
The images—which take a starring role on the cover of this week’s issue of Science—were produced by Wim L. Noorduin, a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

 Want early design analysis without simulation?Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance. |
