First, linked via Robot Wisdom Weblog, an article about MIT students testing the feasibility of the fabled Death Ray of Archimedes. It's a very interesting and fun read.http://web.mit.edu/2.009/www/lectures/10_ArchimedesResult.html.
Second (also linked via RWW, I believe, although this is actually a link inside the article. Not that you care about any of that.) is a link to a site called The Silicon Zoo. Here's an excerpt from the site's self-description:
Our search has led to a new collection of photomicrographs (photographs taken through a microscope) featuring many of the interesting silicon creatures and other doodling scribbled onto integrated circuits by engineers when they were designing computer chip masks. The tiny creatures are far too small to be seen with the naked eye, so we have provided high-magnification photomicrographs to share these mysterious wonders with our visitors.
Just keep scrolling down on the main page to see links to the images:

There are also links to all kinds of photomicrographic collections here:
