DNA can do many things — build organisms, implicate criminals, store Shakespearean sonnets. Now, it can illuminate the complex biomolecular architecture of a cell.

By attaching colored, fluorescent tags to short stretches of DNA, a team at Harvard University’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering has developed an imaging system that can resolve structures less than 10 nanometers apart.

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.
