  • "This is a macro of a silicon wafer. Each square is a chip with microscopic transistors and circuits. Ordinarily, wafers like these are diced into their individual chips and the chips go into the processors that power our computers.\r\nSometimes, wafers have flaws and the manufacturers dispose of them instead. That\u2019s how I got mine. After visiting the tech museums in Silicon Valley, I was amazed at the beauty of silicon wafers, so I started collecting and photographing them.\r\nLike fractals and flowers, the closer you get to them, the more amazing details there are to see."

According to MIT News, researchers are working on a new micro tracking chip that could help deter counterfeiting.

To combat supply chain counterfeiting, which can cost companies billions of dollars annually, MIT researchers have invented a cryptographic ID tag that’s small enough to fit on virtually any product and verify its authenticity.
