This inspiring traveling exhibit explores how microchips function and the vital roles they play in electronic technology. Interactive components, such as a magnifier rail and a gesture screen, offer visitors a rare chance to look inside a microchip and engage with a rich world of rivalries, gambits, and grand designs hidden behind the plastic packaging and metal contacts.

The exhibit will remain on display to ASML employees and visitors at the ASML Wilton site until November 17, 2025. An identical copy of the exhibit will open to the public at the Attleboro Area Industrial Museum in Attleboro, MA on Saturday October 11, 2025.

“Microchips That Shook the World” is a highly mobile, interactive exhibit from the IEEE Global Museum in partnership with IEEE Spectrum and IEEE Foundation. Philanthropic support was provided by ASML, the IEEE Electronics Packaging Society, the Bill and Dianne Mensch Foundation, and other generous donors.
